You should make a sequence of the crash in photoshop.

Whatever trick you're trying you're spinning it way too early. At least wait until you've left the wake!

looks like a backroll gone bad.

Haha...fun.

Haha... Rad.

Actually it was supposed to be an s-spin, or so ive been told that an s-spin is where it is like a raley 360 parallel with the water, correct me if im wrong.

Everytime i do one i seem to always start off the wake soon, it seems hard cause i always see them done by cutting way out then back in so you are coming straight into the wake with your ass almost touching the water and hauling...

I think you're spinning the wrong way for an s-bend. Maybe that's your problem.

Looks like a backroll to me too. No offense Justin, but I wouldn't be trying S-bends just yet. From your pictures it doesn't look like you're ready for them. Pretty sweet crash though - you're lucky you didn't get the board in the head!

How the hell did your foot come out of the binding before you even hit the water Question

P.S. This is something that would be perfectly acceptable in the general wake or trick tips forum, where it might be viewed more...just to let ya know.

Thats a good question, i ride with a little extra bigger bindings cause i have pretty wide feet but there still a bit loose, however thats the first time it's ever happend... still unsure.

What the hell is an s-spin?

Justin Thomas · Newbie Joined: 11 May 2004 Posts: 28 City: Seattle

s-bend/s-spin,

we call them s-spins

I'm going out on a limb here, but if you don't know the name of the trick, you prolly shouldn't be trying it, unless you clearly have the skills

Like BillJ said, you're throwing it way too early. That's what is making your foot pop out of the binding.Way back when I was trying raleys all the time, that kept happening to me, I later found out that throwing it way too early will rip your foot out of the binding at the wake.

You can really tell you throw your stuff early with those backroll and tantrum pics. That close to the wake, you should just barely be starting the flip, not totally upside down (backroll) or already getting the board above your head (tantrum). Wait on everything, it'll hurt a lot less. Laughing

Also, learn a raley first.

Did you catch you toe edge off of the wake!?! The top of the board is facing the camera in the very first frame!

salmon_tacos, thanks a bunch man. I've wondered about that for a while, but never thought or asking on here.

numbfoot · Posted: May 22, 2004 12:36 pm Post subject:

Well here's my first one. It sucks. Sorry if its HUGE.

numbfoot · Posted: May 22, 2004 12:39 pm Post subject:

Sorry

I should have made my little black border a little littler.

numbfoot · Posted: May 22, 2004 6:00 pm Post subject:

Here's a much better one. Smaller too.

hey salmon tacos i need some help..i tried making the same sequence you did but i need some help with the transparency...take a look at the picture of it so far

cameron_05 · Outlaw Joined: 04 Feb 2003 Posts: 246 City: Cadillac, MI

i think i got it

numbfoot · Posted: May 23, 2004 5:03 pm Post subject:

Here's another one. I've been having trouble w/ the snowboarding ones cuz the light changes as you progress throught the frames. I corrected the lighting and color to make it match up, but then the farther you go w/ the frames the worse quality they get. Any advice?

Justin Thomas, ya man you are throwing that a little to early, like yeasterday to early. wait until you actually leave the wake bud. but you should learn it son enough good luck

Scorched_Ice7 · Posted: Jun 13, 2004 8:32 pm Post subject:

Ok Ive done some photoshopping but no layers or transparencies, can someone give me a link or a write-up of how to do a simple sequence.

Scorched_Ice7 · Posted: Jun 13, 2004 10:00 pm Post subject:

ok it took a LONG time to do, and I did it the hard way by clipping each picture instead of using layers and transparency (something I still cant do)

What do you think?

Elevation · Posted: Jun 17, 2004 6:52 pm Post subject:

i have a question... if i am going to make a sequence from video footage, how do i get still images out of the film?

Here is my first frame by frame. It only took about 10 mins for the layover, then i played with effects.

You should clean the sensor of your camera, there are some spots on the pictures...

just look at the original sequence pictures.. these spots are on every picture. Wink

churchy · Posted: Jul 28, 2004 7:47 am Post subject:

wviveen, You can't clean the sensor unless you take the whole housing apart, and I doubt too many people on here would know what the sensor was when they saw it... These spots are most likely on the lens. Clean the lens.
