Good ratio/human rocket setting the bar?

So now that these two teams have dropped their videos, in my opinion I think these videos r setting the bar pretty high for some of the others teams. Not trying to compare or anything just want this to kinda start a chain reaction.Personally I would love for southern to break thru and get their team together and put out a video, also obscura, virtue, etc. what's u guys' opinion?

Three Obscura riders dropped full parts online this summer:

Yeah I seen those video parts haven't seen washed up tho, but just was talking more of a "team video" like these were and more team road trips and what not I don't know guess just was looking to start a new topic. Really want southern to get going tho, I guess I can look forward to that loose drops video

We're also working on a WSM video collaboration that will have a bunch of stuff from Clem, Nick R and Ollie.

The Southern guys are some of the heaviest chargers out right now, really stoked on their team.

That southern edit is sick. I think that team could put together an equally solid video.

I cannot choose between good ratio and human rocket. Good ratio is satisfying in a different way...human rocket is completely gnarly. I love them both and am glad they came out before winter, even if just a bit.

I would love to see more team vids, like a new obscura vid. Reed's got a good interview in the latest wakeskate mag and talks about that. It comes down to motivation, and i'm happy when i think that 10 years later, aaron and danny completely threw it down once again.

Aaron talks about wakesurfing too and i totally agree with him.

That is interesting about nick's song, but i love the vibe from his section and think it all goes together so well.

Nice work to all of the dudes who have put out the most solid wakeskate videos to date this year. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make it all happen.

It is Collin Gee's song from Ride Among Us.

Agreed, the edits that have been put out this year have been mind blowing, but can't wait to see a southern edit really want to see a nick rob part and Jan, their all some heavy hitters.

I am so stoked on these two videos!
I really enjoyed Human Rocket, but Good Ratio just blew me away! We are so lucky to have two great teams like these pouring their soul into wakeskating.

This year has been great. All the wakeskaters and companies are pushing it so hard. Remote, Water Monsters, Southern, Obscura, Byerly, WSM, and The Wakeskate Tour have really stepped it up to the next level with their commitment to making wakeskating better in every way.

I just got the new issue of WSM and it is the best wake publication I have read so far.

Tad, thanks for linking to that Southern video. I totally forgot about that video. That has to be one of the best web edits of the year.
On a side note: Has southern released boards to the public yet?

that southern clip has to be my favourite edit of the year, it totally blew me away and got me pumped. i love where those dudes are heading, i only first heard of them when i was at toe jam last year.
human rocket was raw as fuk, no 5 min intros there straight down to business and as i type this good ratio is loading and will be on repeat no doubt.

Damn I forgot about that edit too! Shame on me, but that supports my want for southern to drop a full length'r! Excited for the aquarium tour edit that ought to be bitchin'
