I have a feeling Todd has sold more than the rest of us, I don't want to speculate about anyone's sales. Just know that big sales means small royalties, in the end if I just shot video of girls fighting in my back yard on a digital 8 camera, edited it in a fisher price easy bake movie system I would sell triple what stunt videos do. There are WAY to many crappy vids that get purchased and the buyer feels they wasted 10/15/20 bucks, and we all lose out on the repeat business. And all the people talking **** on LVX vids, I can still watch LVX2, that's a great stunt video, so is Pauls first. In the end who knows, all I'll say is even with national dissolution of Reasonable Doubt we fell short of all the numbers you gave, now if I wanted to do the wallmart option and completly **** my content I could get another 10K units sold at a royalty of .30each but the last thing we want to see is our **** regulated to the discount bin driving the fair market value down the ******* at rollback **** price of 5 bucks a DVD.
imo,i'll throw in siu-2 or 3 ,or maybe rd1.5 and want to go out and have a slow fest and get into ''work stunt mode'' now i throw in lvx 2 or whatever and i wanna go out and tear it up in a different way a strickly fun way ,it probly sounds wierd but alot of the tricks i love to do the most are on those vids, bottom line ya gotta have both ,lol i'm so off topic

Re: I wonder whos got the most number of DVD's sold
From what I understand the Streetfighterz have been very successful. One of the few stunt teams out there that seem to handle their business in a very professional, business-like manner, and it pays off. They've got national distribution on a box set that is doing very well, and their crashes DVD was also #1 for that same distributor. They had a kiosk (sp?) in their local mall that did great sales for them for a couple of years as well. Who else has been able to do that?
I think it has a lot to do with the distribution/marketing end of things, and since there are probably very few riders who are also experts in those areas, they need to turn somewhere for help. That unfortunately means losing a huge chunk of the proceeds (as Darius mentioned), but it gets the product out there and hopefully leads people to the website and repeat sales.
I don't know numbers, but I'd guess the Starboyz, Streetfighterz and Drew Stone are all up there. But I'd also say it's more about getting the mainstream exposure and shelf presence than the content of the riding (unfortunately).

Re: I wonder whos got the most number of DVD's sold
maybe 4 million in total sales of ALL stunt riding DVD's, but even that sounds waaaay high.
i read a book about about stunt riding once, it was made in like 03 i beleive, i'll see if i can get the title. But anywho, it said something like FTP1 sold like 160,000 copies if you count the bootlegged ones???
