I liked the video but the biokinetics drags on a bit and wore me down.
I think Rio's 1st Spey Casting Video is more useful for starting out.

Yes, I found the biokinetic stick-man models a bit of a pain, but there is a lot in this DVD set.
3 DVD's
First disc covers: Intro Grip & Stance Basic priciples Forward stroke Anchor groups Roll cast Switch cast Single Spey
Second disc: Double Spey Snake roll Underhand cast Skagit casting Perry Poke Snap T Steelhead
Third disc: Weird casts Angle changes Casting in tight places Shooting line Handling sinking tips Stroke length Changing hands Grass practice Speys in the Salt Single handed Spey casts
overall, a comprehensive coverage of Spey casting

It was good of Mike to list the content. A good reminder that the DVD does contain a lot of good stuff and maybe the stick men are good in the classroom. Some of those exotic casts are quite easy compared to the timing needed when learning the 'simple' single spey salmo

I got this DVD set for Crimbo. There is a lot of info which I have found to be very interesting and helpful. Nice graduation through the casts from the single spey, to the double then on to the more modern casts. Excellent tips on common faults.
Only downsides are the biokinetics sections, which are an irritation and the frequent bursts of pipe music in deference to the origins of spey casting!
The Skagit casting looks impressive. Not really much call for it on the rivers I fish but on the bigger Scottish rivers it may be useful in the spring.
Well worth a view.
