The Kickoff Preview DVD highlights over 40 male and female athletes between the ages of 5 and 14 skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, windsurfing, skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, wakeboarding, and riding motocross. "Having been a kid athlete myself, I found shooting video of young athletes like Shawn White and Parks Bonifay back in the mid 90s very inspirational," says Rod Parmenter, Creator & Executive Producer. This project is a culmination of my own experiences and passion for action sports". Rod continues, "Seeing these kids perform at such an early age is very inspirational, and I wanted to share it with kids of all ages."

Kids Who Rip is inspirational entertainment in which kids of all ages can watch it over and over again. "The action in this DVD is great, I had a great time working with Kids Who Rip," Says Ben Watts, an 11 year-old skater and snowboarder from Bend, Oregon. "You will end up watching this DVD over and over again." Bens dad, Alan Watts, a former professional sport climber, was very pleased when he finally saw the DVD, "We all loved it.
