I saw it on there at midnight a couple nights ago and set my DVR to record it but it didn't get the right show. I don't know what happened.

I got it on TIVO. I think my recording for Power Hour on OLN is what caught it. It was ok. It seamed like an ad for an instructional video.

Watched the first one last week, and the second one at lunch today. It looks like they pick a rider or two (all O'Brien riders) each episode, and do a little profile of them. And yeah, this weeks was a big add for the Waketrix instructional DVD. But it still shows some pretty cool riding.

I wonder how O'Brien feels having this air now that Shapiro is with LF? Embarassed

What trick is it that they show Shapiro doing at the beginning and end of the commercial breaks? It's a fully extended twisting invert with a late grab.

I was wondering that same thing. That move is sick. Looks unlike anything I've ever seen- pure freestyle I'd bet.

It is on Power Hour on OLN (169) in my area and airs at 11:00pm on Monday Nights and Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 or 3:00, I forget.

Man this show sucks. They do so much on the same people we get to see the same footage repeated over and over in the show. Why can't somebody put together a half hour show, twice a month to catch us up on what is happening in the industry. Give a report on EACH team, profile a RANDOM pro rider.

This is nothing but an advertisement for O'Brien and the Waketrix DVD, and I have stopped my weekly recording of it.

Wakeskating?? HA!! Not bloody likely. Who on O'Brien can skate?

I agree the show isn't anywhere near perfect, but you gotta start somewhere. I'd rather have the OPTION of watching some blatant add with wakeboarding in it, than not be able to watch any wakeboarding at all. Who knows, if this catches on, maybe another station (ESPN2, SPEED) will start airing someting better.

Baby steps.

Juice75, Good point - maybe it will get picked up on 'THE OCHO'

It is good to have something, and I have watched 3 weeks in a row. I like having it as an option, but would like to see more.

So I should search for "Power Hour" instead of "Waketrix" when searching?

Juice75 · Outlaw Joined: 09 Jul 2004 Posts: 218 City: Austin

Yep. It's something like the "Vortex Power Hour".

chipsevila, you gotta love the OCHO! "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!"

What happened to waketrix tv. All that they show now is truckin tv with an occasional wakeboard 2 minute clip. Last week they showed a recreational boating show.????
