That was some great riding by all. Jimmy was ripping, and I finally got to see Cory throw a 360. Great job everyone, see ya soon, like Saturday.

That was a great video. I now feel like a trip to the Delta is a must.

Nice job on the video Christie! VERY nice riding everyone... Jimmy, you rip!!! and.... I thought someone mentioned that Tom was new to the sport??? What the????? <BR> <BR>it's just not fair.... <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0>

That was so much fun to watch! That opening shot is classic, and you know I'm loving the soundtrack! Thanks for posting that, Christie, your production work definitely is the majic sh*t!

tom has some xcelent form for a newbie. Picture perfect <BR>

Thanks, everyone. <BR> <BR>Andrew - I agree...Tom looks really comfortable out there. From what I understand, he has only been on a board a few times. <BR> <BR>Jimmy - Glad you enjoyed the vid...the DVD version will come out soon. <BR> <BR>Here is part 2 - this section is mostly crashes!!! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=8419" target="_blank">http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=8419</a> <BR>

so, Christie, do tell....did you ever stick the butterslide 360 on that skate!!! You were soooo close a few times. I've never ridden a skate before and I was really considering demoing one... you took a lot of beating on that skate...was it as bad as it looks?

Christie, Nice way to remember an awesome day on the water, thanks for taking the time to make the video's and taking us all out. <BR> <BR>Stef, About Tom, try being in the boat as Cory is saying let him out another 5 feet, over and over. Next time I'm riding with you guys. But really, Awesome job Tom can't wait till the next time. <BR> <BR>Jimmy, a couple of those crashes, where right up there with Christie and Tom. You are an awesome rider! When do I get a lesson?

The crash footage, I love it!!! I might even like that vid better that Part 1, well... maybe not... but it's a tough call. Thanks you all, I'm down for riding most any time, just let me know. Would love to get more days like that one. Couldn't have asked for a better day in terms of friends, boat, driver, camera person, and I was stoked you let me try out your Double Up deck, I'm thinking maybe I should consider making that a permanent change. <BR>So much thanks, again, to Christie, Tammy, Cory, and to the rest of the Delta crew. I'm glad to be in NorCal!

Shanda - no, I didn't stick the 360 on the skate - YET. One of them was really close though thanks to some good advice from Doctor Octagon (Jimmy). Most of the skate crashes don't hurt unless you get hit with the board. I currently have a bruise the size of arizona on my leg from last weekend...haha. <BR> <BR>Tammy - thanks for filming while I was driving. We will have to watch the DVD version some time this weekend.... <BR> <BR>Jimmy - You are welcome in my crew anytime. It was a pleasure having you on the boat and I appreciate the advice on those 360 attempts. Next time, you will have to bring Katie so I can meet her! <BR>

Welcome Doctor, <BR> <BR>Christie, Tammy and Cory are great to go out with and hang out with. You sure started in the right place. Welcome to NorCal and hope to get to hang with you soon. <BR> <BR>Rod

Thanks, Rod, <BR>I couldn't agree with you more - what a great group of new friends, and growing all the time! I feel very fortunate to be meeting such awesome people, and I especially thank Tammy, who was the first to extend a welcome to this stranger from out of town! Before I moved out here, I thought the Delta mostly just defined a style of riding, but now I see what it's REALLY all about! Hope to see you out there soon. <BR>Peace

AWESOME!!! Finally I got the chance to watch the whole video. Man, this really makes me look like a whimp. I'm going to have to push harder! Great job on the video Christie as always! Great crashing everyone!

Christie, what editing program do you use? I am using Pinnacle, and it is killing me at this point. I want to get something new. For those out there interested in video software AVOID PINNACLE STUDIO 8. It is so riddled with bugs and system problems it is pretty much useless.

Andrew, I am using Adobe Premiere 6.5. It's a pretty powerful software and I haven't even figured out all of the features yet. It isn't as user-friendly as some of the other packages out there, but it's very stable.

Thanks a bunch. I have heard it can get pretty complicated, but I am going to give it a try this week. I have access to the program for free from a friend. I hear that the Vega Video from Sonic Foundry is an incredible program to use. Very stable and easy to use. It gets the highest user ratings on cnet. Problem is that I don't want to shell out the bucks for it. I paid good money for my Pinnacle and am still just mad as heck because it is such a horrible program. Should of done my research before buying. DOH

No Thank you Jimmy. You and Katie have been an awesome add to the crew. <BR> <BR>Hahaha, about what the delta is all about. Lately its been all about power turns and wind. We will find you good water one of these times.

Okay Tom's only been on a board a few times and he's landing in the flats &amp; sliding? Geeze

Well, yeah... the power turners, they've got their own style - and have been out in full force... And speaking of water... what color exactly would you call that stuff? <BR>Sorry, I AM JUST KIDDING! No matter what you say, it's still way calmer than a weekend in Arizona, or Atlanta for that matter. And it always beats a day at work. <BR>It's all good on the D'!!
