Summer Video

I had an awesome last weekend at the lake, had an awesome season. I love life right now. Didn't really learn a whole lot but my main goal was to stay injury free and my knee held up for me and I'm thrilled. I focused this year on adding some style and adding some new grabs. Actually landed some TS w2w's for the first time yesterday too, I only was comfortable with 180's.

Next season I'm working more on my TS jumps, and jumping into the inverts. The tantrum I feel is so close, just a little mental block that will go away the more I try.

Here's the vid:

thanks for all the feedback guys!

hawkster0001, most of the footage is from the days I had about 700 pounds or so and no wedge. There wasn't any weight when I landed the bs 180's. I think next year I'll max all the ballast to 1250 and play with the wedge and see what happens.

holdsworth, thanks man! that's what good videos make me want to do! I think the tantrum will come soon. I think I need a little more speed to get across the wake since the nature of the trip and make sure I look back with my head and not let my upper body stop rotating. Maybe I'll get it this fall, but if not then definitely is number one on my list for next summer.

Nice video those backside 180s are sick. What camera did you shoot this with it looks really clear.

kartman, yea its a major weekend vacation place and I typically get up early around 7 for good water. Those were sunrise shots not sunset shots.. Laughing

eric mf soler, Thanks man, I have a Canon HV 20 i think. It records on HD mini DV tapes (digital HD with hard drives were nearly double the price of the HD tape recorders). I really like it a lot, Had it for 3 years now and just been recording and re-recording all my footage onto two 60 minute tapes.
