I have all of the Bar To Bar series from 2002 to 2008 and most of them are pretty good. You get to see reasonable amounts of the race before they move to another scene, see entire interviews with the riders and so on. But this edition, BTB 2008, is terrible. They go through each race in less than 5 minutes, and do not even show 1 full minute of a race before they go to another scene. It is very frustrating to watch if you are wanting to actually see some racing. This DVD set should be called "Bar To Bar 2008 Highlights", because that is all this is. The bonus disc with the 250 lites has better coverage than the main disc, but that isn't saying much. I strongly advise skipping this version of BTB if you are looking to actually watch any of the races. At $25.00 for this set,it is truly a rip-off. $3.99 would have been a more reasonable price. With this edition of BTB being so bad, I really doubt that I will buy any of the BTB series in the future.
I do recommend the previous Bar To Bar DVDs, and if you want to see some classic supercross races {from the heat races to the main events} with guys like Hanna, Decoster, Johnson, Bailey, Ward, etc.. check out "Worlds Greatest Supercross Races". This is in my opinion,the best classic supercross DVD set you can get by a long shot.
The people producing Bar To Bar need to watch that series and see how to produce a DVD right and give the consumer what they pay for.

I have seen bar2bar 2006-2008, i enjoyed the first two but this years format has changed, instead of having each full length race, each race is now edited with commentary to just show highlights, i guess for some people in a hurry this is cool but i enjoyed the old format much more
