Threshold - Wakeboarding

A fast action, no intro vid :) - make sure you switch on HD! Threshold by Beck (Scott Pilgrim version) I wanted to make something a little different: No sponsored riders, no big intro, no twixtor, lots of fast editing, grungy music, riders from a boat background, older riders (30+) (with the exception of Mitch who I finally got a chance to film during his last week in the Bay) I finally had a play with a gopro and had some B footage (some good tricks that were over exposed, out of frame or off the side of the kicker) that suited the music perfectly. Shot on several cameras as I was experimenting with some different modes of shooting: Go pro Hero HD (720p @60fps) Canon 600D (720p @60fps) with 70-300mm lens (nasty!) Canon Legria (1080p 25fps with 24mbps mode on Footage taken by myself, Gunna, Jaw and Bill (some go pro)

What is Wakeboarding (
by Wikipedia)
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport
which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. It was developed from a combination of
water skiing,
snow boarding and
surfing techniques.
The rider is usually towed behind a motorboat,
typically at speeds of 17–24 miles per hour, depending on the water conditions, board size,
rider's weight, type of tricks, and rider's comfort speed. This speed could also depend on the year,
make, and model of the boat because some boats, which are not designed for wakeboarding, create a different
size wake which the rider may not feel comfortable with. But a wakeboarder can also be towed by other means,
including closed-course cable systems, winches,
PWCs, trucks/cars, and
ATVs.
