Momentum Video Magazine Follow-Up

I was pleased to see the positive response to my initial post on the Momentum Video Magazine Premium Section. It seemed like many people were intrigued by MVM and were going to give it a try at some point. I would be interested in hearing people’s thoughts so far so please leave a comment below.

I realized after my initial review that I had actually left out a key point that I wanted to be sure to bring up. I had not intially seen the extensive archives section of the site that dates back to the start of the project early in 2007. As you can see below, the list of premium videos offered on the site is actually quite a bit larger than I initially thought. With over 50 videos currently available for viewing in the premium area only, there is a lot of additional content to go along with all the free stuff. I haven’t yet taken the time to catalog all the free offerings, but if you consider that the premium area lets you see those videos in a much better resolution it adds another bonus to subscribing. Given all this, I have to say that I really recommend that you give the premium subscription a try if you enjoy climbing videos. With more videos being added each day (including the upcoming footage of Paul Robinson climbing Terremer), it seems the value of your subscription is only going to increase.

The list below includes all the videos available in the Premium Archives as of 1/23/2008. Some of the more recent videos have a * next to them indicating their coolness but I haven’t taken the time to do it for the entire archive list. The summaries of the content of each video is mostly from memory so there could be a few mistakes.
