It downloaded as a PDF which I can read in iBooks on an iPad. The vids look great, I wish.

why say in 20 words what you can say in 2000 and add some naff music too...
Content seems ok, but it's just a few basic things and they just waffle and drag it out too much for my liking and does it really need the same 30 secs intro and 60 secs of credits on every 4 minute video...?

I've just been watching these, and I thought the same as you at first, but I think there's actually some subtle psychological tricks in there to do with giving you a memory "anchor", to help you visualise what they're saying and what you're trying to get to, etc. I think it's intended to be something a bit more than a way of conveying facts about techniques.

That's a very perceptive comment, and the guy who put that material together would be very pleased as I'm sure that's what he was trying to achieve.

Pretty certain it's Hugh Monney. That's who the narrator sounds like to me.

You know it makes sense.

I had ski lessons in Les Gets with Hugh Monney a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time ago.
I have that video downloaded - some time ago. I'd rather forgotten it. Must have another look at it.

I have to say I found the e-book very frustrating- about the first 50 pages is spent telling you what you're going to learn. Very much in the style of a lot of advertorial type e-material that's out there. Cut to the chase please, life's too short.

p.s. and can people writing e-books, or at least their editors, please learn how to use apostrophes. It's means it is.

Just found this 
I haven't got a single e-version of anything that's similar.
Anyone out there got anything similar they wouldn't mind sharing?
Please.
Thanks

Just seen that there's new editions of Performance Breakthrough released as 5 separate e-books on the Kindle
A search for Hugh Monney on Amazon will bring them up
