So i like watching videos where they are wakeboarding behind the boat.

I don't care for videos of:
doing rails (even if behind the boat)
wakeskating
cable

I'm not looking for anything instructional. I have "the book" so that's all i need. Just looking for some eye candy. I only own a couple vids so far,
Scrubs of the south
Refraction
The Chick Flick

I really like the chick flick because the wakeskate sessions are divided into chapters so i can simply skip an entire chapter if it's a wakeskater.

Does anyone have some suggestions for that type of taste?

Transgression is supposedly one of the highlights of recent years, although I haven't seen it. I'd recommend checking out some of the old school stuff, particularly 12 Honkeys. It's awesome to see these legends in their primes, and wakeskating was a lot less popular back then (had it even been invented?) so I'd guess that most films from that era don't have any wakeskating in them. There was an awesome site posted here about a month ago that had all of the old, hard to find videos for pretty reasonable prices, but its name escapes me right now.

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll probably get 12 honkeys. Love darin shapiro. Such an explosive rider. Hopefully his segment is pretty good Wink

Watched the trailer for transgression and it look like there was a TON of rails and crap in it. Probably pass on it although it looks like it was shot very well - just probably not my personal taste.

Thanks man.

Any other suggestions?

I love watching Slick City, some awesome wakeboarding in it with Rusty Malinoski, Jeff McKee, Harley Clifford, and Bob Soven to name a few. Its also pretty entertaining to watch them all interact with each other.

Here's that site I was thinking of:

http://www.boardflix.com/index.php?cPath=21

There's some awesome stuff on there!

And ya, Shapiro is always in my top 3 favorite riders of all time. I've seen Parks Bonifay's part in 12 Honkeys and it's widely regarded as his best video segment ever and one of the best segments by any rider ever.

Great, just ordered them both, however I'm guessing from the description slick city really won't be what I'm looking for especially since they say there's some "ramp building 101" in it. I could care less about watching people take ramps let alone watch them build one, but whatever. I'll trust your suggestion and see how much other junk is in it.

I think 12 honkeys is gonna be spot on for what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestions Very Happy

Park's portion in 12 Honkeys is some of the best riding I've ever saw, IMO... Prue power.

This video come out the other day. Adam does a minute or so of cable, but this is some rad riding and the best video edit I've watched this year;
