Sweet riding/video, but in my opinion not pro tour ready. Still good luck, I'll be there at the tour stop. (watching)  |

| Dave Barousse, Do these riders just send you the video to put on the home page? Or do you always watch the new videos and put them up? The reason I am asking is its great exposure and I am thinking of making a vid myself.. |

wakeskating doesn't have to be about pro tour riding.

LFfool246,
I just randomly pic them from videos that are uploaded to the media gallery. I generally pic videos that have good riding, but haven't really been noticed much (determined by number of views and number of links to the video in the forum).
It also depends on how easy I can get the rider or the person that uploaded the video to give me more information.
I like giving riders the exposure. Especially when they are really good and humble about it. |

nice riding, and like others said too bad the image quality was bad :/ Compressing vids is a beach :/
and IMO best exposure are parts in videos... that's where you see the rider's talent shine. When I watch the pro tour vids I am always disapointed with the riding, since having consistency in wakeskating is such a hoe...

RUSSIAN, and your right also... it is to bad it has to be that way but since our sport is so small you have to do things like that to get noticed... but i guess its good for people who like competing and have a company behind them (or a rich parent) to pay for them to get to every contest
like even lemons is doing the tour now... like thats what you have to do in this industry to make it big and to get noticed...
Its just plain and simple you cant make it doing "underground wakeskating"

I just disagree with judging someone's riding by saying, well, you're not good enough for the tour yet, or why after seeing someone's footage, it has to come down to the pro tour. That pro tour stuff just really bugs me. And it's just some dude riding....maybe he doesn't even give two shits about the tour.

electricsnow, did you read the article?
| Quote: | | Matt is planning on competing at the Pro Tour this season, so we may be seeing more from him in the near future. |
so it's not after seeing someone's footage that it comes down to the tour, it's after reading the article 
But still if he lands all of his tricks on the tour he'll be allright I guess, from seeing the rofl rofl riding of last year's tour, seriously, it isn't THAT good...

Nope, I missed that part so I retract my previous post. But I still hate all of the You are/aren't good enough for the tour talk.

O.K what could he have thrown that would make you all think he was ready for the tour ????????????
honestly the tour has nothing to do with big tricks and everything to do with consistancy. |
