Every year I want to go to this event, but I don't have the time to make the drive down to LA and go to the expo. From what I understand, there will be several seminars on how to shoot extreme video (ie extreme sports, skate, snow, surf, rock climbing, maybe wake as well?). I don't know if they are going to cover wakeboarding for sure, but I would really like to hear what they have to say about shooting extreme sports in general... <BR> <BR>Bill if you go (or if anyone else goes) let me/us know how it went...

I'm planning to go and with the new extreme sports mag coming out I'm sure they will have some seminars about shooting extreme sports. Besides, it's what all the cool people are doing now! <BR> <BR>I'll let you know how it goes but I think you should take some time off from school and come down to LA to hang out. <BR>
