My time has come as well. PWX 2007 contains almost two hours of raw action packed chase footage spanning 12 states and two years. The cost is $20 like others, a steal for the kind of in your face footage chasers are delivering.

100% of the proceeds will go towards keeping me alive in this expensive hobby for another year. Help a buddy out! :)



Chases included:

April 24 2007 - Nickerson Kansas gorgeous supercell and tornadoes
May 20 2007 - South Dakota LP with funnel and dust storm
May 21 2007 - Glen Ullen, North Dakota ghostly grey rope tornado
May 22 2007 - St. James Kansas gorgeous supercells and tornado.

Just got the DVD today. Very nice and well put together. It shows that IL is not only about squall lines and crap ;). Great structure shots from Nickerson, KS as well as the HP beasts in Tx. It is 2 years of compiled footage and if it isn't raging winds, pounding hail, and ghostly twisters, it is his commentary in between storms or en route to the target LOL. I give it a 5 out of 5. :D Only 20 bucks too, that's like toilet paper to some of you!
 
I love vids from chasers who get the obscure events and Andrew has his share in the video. The May 21 Glen Ullin, ND torn was a great catch in some beautiful country as well as the July 16th Iowa cell. Of course I was happy to see someone else got their butt kicked by that August 13th Foley, MN cell. Glad we didn't keep going up the road!

Andrew does a great job of getting steady shots from good locations. A great video for mid winter to get the blood flowing for the upcoming season!
 
Thanks for the kind words guys.

I'm trying to get rid of the stack I've got now so for a limited time I'm giving a pre-season price of just $13.95.

Whenever I get rid of this batch the price will go back to $20.

You can still order at the url below, or send me a pm and let me know if you'd like to pay with an alternative method.

I'd love to trade if anyone else wants to swap dvd's! No home made porns, please!

Both as a chaser and an overall human being, I've had the pleasure of growing alongside a fellow Illinois chaser, Andrew Pritchard. He was among the very first I met when I entered the hobby several years ago, and he was someone to whom I could relate on a personal level -- someone of similar interests, similar age, and similar seniority in the hobby. Over the past several chase seasons, we've both done what we can to become both more active in the hobby and more knowledgeable of the subject; all the while attempting to improve our artistic abilities to effectively capture what we've witnessed through the lenses of our cameras, freezing that moment physically, as well as in our minds.

After watching Andrew's 2007 highlight video, which also includes some of his 2006 clips, it's obvious to me that for all the growth I've seen in myself, I've been left well in the dust by that of Andrew's.

As Bill mentioned, A.P. has, for some time, possessed an uncanny ability to forecast and be in the right place at the right time for some of the best cells that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. That talent remains evident in his 2007 video, most notably in his solo July 16 Iowa intercept of an absolute monster HP, as well as his May 21 intercept of the gorgeous rope near Glen Ullen, ND with Mark Sefried, when most other chasers concentrated on getting into better position for the impending Kansas outbreak the next day. But, he was also out there for a couple of the biggest days of 2007, giving us different vantages of the tornadoes near Nickerson, KS on April 24, and the Hill City carousel on May 22, which may have easily been the most documented cell of the past several seasons.

His forecasting talents and mid-chase instincts shine brilliantly throughout the film, bringing the audience right to the action. And it wouldn't be a Pritchard production without several instances of the well-timed, blunt, random humor to which I've grown so accustomed from him over the years.

But, most importantly for us, his documentation continues to improve, and I'm watching enviously as he asserts himself as an accomplished photographer and continues to blossom into someone who could very well be one of the most talented of a new generation of chasers to carry on this great hobby in the years to come.
