Posted: Apr 08, 2003 11:36 am Post subject: Extreme Sports TV Show ... Riders wanted |
|
|
OK, I work at a local television station in GR.
A few of us here are thinking about pitching the idea of an extreme sports show to air on our sister station WXSP in town. It would have to be more than wakeboarding, but it would definately feature a great deal of riding.
It should be stated that this is just in a development stage right now, we're really just forming ideas for it ... It hasn"t even been pitched to our CEO yet, but if it happened to be greenlighted and we needed riders for our show, would there be any riders interested in doing the show?
Reply if you're interested .. also if you have any ideas for how a show like this should look....
Thanks.

F' Yeah. I would be interested, just as long as HUGE isn't the host. As for the look of the show. I don't know. Maybe go off of 54321's format. Show some contest shizzle(like the Action Water Sports tourneys), free-riding, interviews with pros when they hit the Detroit Stop of the tour. I don't know. You could do this for all "extreme sports". Zane Schwenk is coming to Reeds Lake in EGR for a week this summer to teach a clinic. Maybe get him to come to the studio, show some of his instruction. OR just edit a whole collage of wake, skate, snow, kite-boarding all together to some cool as music( maybe a local band). I don't know.
I am definitely interested in riding on your show though. That would be Tiz-ight.
Later... |

I suck this year. WTF, maybe it's the drysuit. Anyone want to ride this week. G.R. area? Bring some beer, bills, and bee-otches. Peace. |

BigTimer...
Riding this week might be a bit too cold seeing as how I lack a drysuit.
However, It would be cool to be on the lake again. The only problem is my schedule. I work from 3 until midnight on the weekdays.
Anyhow, since you mentioned riding for the show, I'd like to see what you got.
Where do you ride? Reeds Lake? |

Anyone in Michigan riding this year or just no one needs a pull? Just checking in, no one has posted in awhile. What progression have you all made so far this year. I finally started grabbing my inverts and got BS 180's down pretty solid. Time to start working on the 7's... I'm scared. Just playin'. Let me know what you all are working on. Anyone on this board ride in the West Michigan Area. Thinking about going up to Hardy Dam or Hanky Panky Bayou for Memorial Day. Anyone interested, let me know. We've got about 8 of us in my boat right now. Later... |

Hey BigRider, I'm in Grand Rapids (actually just south of GR in Caledonia).
My "progressions" this year so far starts and ends with getting the boat out of storage. Leaving this weekend for vacation though, so I'll get be able to get back into boarding then. Unfortunately my boat doesn't throw up much of a wake so it is tough to advance much on the tricks. |

No such luck. I'll be vacationing up at Lake City (East of Cadillac) that weekend. In fact if anyone wakeboards on Lake Missaukee (sp?) with a good wakeboarding boat maybe I could hook up with you for a quick pull. I've always wanted to take a run behind a boat that actually threw a decent wake instead of the poor excuse my little boat puts out. |
