Well these guys have my attention already because of the cool domain name they have. These days, you can't grab names like this anymore, so my hope is these guys have been around a while and can produce some nice sites. We're looking at a network today called Kickass (cool name, huh?) that features seven sites in various niches (cum, feet, black, and piss). They've got quite a weird collection of niches there. $15 is what it'll cost to get in the door, which is a special price they worked out for our users only. That's a great discount off the $30 they usually charge.
Once inside, I guess you have a few ways to browse around. They keep the menu on the left from the tour which is quite annoying, considering there are links to join or view the tour which are obviously useless once you're inside the member's area. At the top are links to the seven sites, plus some previews of their latest updates from those sites. Underneath (and this is what confused me), they list models in the same way they do on their sites to browse galleries. I take it these are the same galleries their sites have and not separate content, but it'd be nice to know for sure!
Once you pick a girl, you're taken to a page with her galleries on it. They give some preview pics and info, plus of course the links to the sets. It looks like they group both the photo and video updates onto the one model's page, which would be a pain if you're looking only for videos or something (although all the models I saw seemed to have them available). The girls also have a bio available from that page if you're interested in that. It actually turns out that there's not much focus on photos here, with average galleries only having about six photos up (while the most I saw was under 20). They are very amateur and small (600x400, and often have a blue hue to them. Sometimes you'll get lucky and get a good looking set, although they're still on the small side. I'm going to check out the videos hoping there's more to see there.
Videos have some vidcaps available to preview them, as well as a trailer video in most cases. Then you have a one-download option of a Windows Media file (no smaller clips available). They come in at 320x240 and 875kbps. They usually start with an interview (which you're basically forced to watch if you're waiting for the whole thing to download to move around), and move on to the fun stuff. The ones I watched were about 15 minutes long each. Quality is decent actually, much better than the few photosets I checked out, and this is where all the fun is.
Each site on its own isn't huge, but as a whole it's not quite as bad. I still wouldn't mind seeing some growth here, and maybe an easier navigation scheme to find things easier. I'd say your best bet, if you're not too picky on what type of content you watch, might be just using the network's member's area to browse to keep things easier to manage. The size and navigation are my big complaints, and for now that'll keep this network from getting a better score - though in the end you get some decent hardcore videos at a great price which you can't complain about.

A bit of a mixed bag last time we were here, and it looks like things have been updated a bit around these parts. The design and navigation was a sore spot, and I think they've been re-done a bit. It looks better for sure, though it's still not going to win any design awards in my opinion (the graphics aren't quite sharp or something for me). Otherwise, getting around is pretty easy I guess - or maybe I'm just a lot more forgiving this time around.
Their sites have all been steadily growing, which has helped the network grow a bit which was another problem last time. Viewing options for the content have been increased as well, with larger pictures (in two sizes at times) and more video choices. Lots of small improvements around here for sure.
The score will bump up a bit I think, though the sites still feel pretty similar to me. The content is good, though, and that's what's most important. To really gain a lot in our list, I'd like to still see more content coming out, and an even slicker look and feel to the site.
One more thing, they've given our users an exclusive price of $15 a month here which is an even better deal. No matter what I say negative, that doesn't take away from what they offer. It's a solid join, and even more so at the price they're at, and definitely worth a look if you like hardcore videos (and isn't that the reason we're all here?).
Score increased from 80.2 to 82.6.

Kick Ass Pass keeps chugging along; it seems every time we stop by there are a few new things that are better than last time around. For today, the numbers of course are higher across the board, and that also includes their content specs. Both videos and pictures are larger than before and look better than ever. The price has remained low at $15 for our readers which really helps the value score out here. You get a good amount of content, good updates, good content, all at a good price. I guess "good" is the word of the day here. The design and stuff is better than when we first looked, but that's one area I still wouldn't mind a small upgrade in. Otherwise I'm happy that things are always improving here, and that's still the case today.
Score increased from 82.6 to 84.0.

Kick Ass Pass has always had a nice name going for it, but early on there were some kinks to work out. Each time we come back, it seems a few of their problems have disappeared, and this visit is no different. They're really coming along and doing well these days, and it's nice to see a set of sites improve as much as they have. Design and navigation have both been improved here, and getting around the sites is the easiest it's ever been. Quality has jumped up in a few spots, which I can only assume will be long-term thing, so I'm not complaining there. The sites continue to grow, bringing the content counts up all around. They have some good content here that's worth a look, and the great price only makes things that much better.
Score increased from 84.0 to 87.0.
