Is anybody else not finding out how to watch the competition? The webcast website still says, broadcast times comming soon or something like that. HELP!

THe website now has a link "view the competition," but when you click on it, it doesn't open. HELP!

<a href="http://www.webcastus.com/prowakeboardtour.htm" target="_blank">http://www.webcastus.com/prowakeboardtour.htm</a> <BR> <BR>I'm watching it right now.. <BR> <BR>Pretty cool.

Did you have to install anything or did you just click on the link?

Yeah I can't see it either, what gives?

I got it, but not working so well with my not-so-high-speed internet. Its running on Windows Media player, do you guys have that? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by kristian on May 01, 2004)

Yeah I have it, and I have high speed, it trys to open, then the box closes and nothing.

My computer sucks a fat one, I re-downloaded it and now I have an internal error. Damn, not gonna work.

I am running windows is there anyway to open it in another media player, its really grainy. <BR>

im running wm9 and it says it cannot open the file.

nm - it was my firewall. what's up with the camera work? friggin' all over the place! but very cool that we can watch it live.

I have DSL, running WMP and it is streaming perfect. <BR>Best runs so far... <BR>Trevor Hansen, Struharik, Shapiro killed it. <BR>Rusty Malinowski rode awesome but fell once. <BR> <BR>Sharpe fell twice. <BR>Shane did maybe three tricks total. <BR>Grassman kiled but fell once. <BR>Tino fell.

man if only i could reach thru the internet and smack the camera person...

I'm with you. <BR>Who the hell is filming???? A drunk five year old???

seriously...give that person a tripod!!

is it just the internet compression that makes the video grainy?

yep

It is so political that Sharpe got in. <BR>Hyperlite owns the tour....

when are they going to let wake skate go behind the m/c. <BR>I think they don't just to keep sea-doo as a sponser <BR>itch <BR>

rusty got robbed f'n hyperlite bias chad fell twice <BR>itch <BR>gb <BR>

Same thing every year dude. <BR> <BR>Rusty's run was so much better than Sharpe's. Plus Chad fell twice.. <BR> <BR>I hate the tour.

Parks throwing almost everything switch was pretty sick Hyperlite rider or not!

And I agree Sharpe should not have advanced. Everything will be political when there is human judgement. That is just the way it will be. <BR> <BR>Soven's run was the poop too.

WOW <BR>Wakeskating is terribly boring.

Ok maybe someone can help me out. I have ADSL and I get about 2-3 seconds of good footage then it justs starts freezing/jumping. Is it just my sucky conection?

Must be - I have DSL &amp; it works fine... <BR> <BR>Except, as others have said, the CAMERA WORK SUCKS! It's like the dude doesn't know people are watching or something. <BR> <BR>Hopefully this is a learing experience and there will be improved coverage to come - it is a cool idea...

Hi wikedee!! I agree, check this out! <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/168127.html?1083381203" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/168127.html?1083381203</a>

was at the tournament today and will hopefully have a video done tonight of the footage i got

Just got back,,,got some good footage too. <BR>Saw Dave and Bill J and Bess Marine! <BR> I saw the camera up top, looked a little shakey! <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR>

angi - was the camera remote controlled or was someone actually operating it?

Chris--If I was seeing the correct camera, I saw two guys controlling the camera at different times..but it was not being held by either, they were zooming it around really fast but it was mounted. I am guessing that was the live webcam, becuz all the other cameras were being held by individuals ?? <BR> <BR>

the wakeskating sucked sooooooo bad... only two ppl landed kickflips and most where falling on the easiest tricks like shuvs... I only got to watch shaprios run that was sweet... wat was shane bonifay like?

I keep getting a "windows media player cant connect to the server" error. Is the error on my end?

its sunday mornin 8 am my time should be around noon in orlando and i can't get any connection to the action... what time does it start? can anyone else see whats goin on?>

Yeah, it's not working for me at this point either...which sucks because I was able to watch it yesterday.

I just tried the webcast again. It now works.

ya, now they're still terrible filmers AND poorly cutting between two cameras as one can't cover the whole course now because of tents that block the view. nice. my girlfriend and i were just trying to watch the women ride but we gave up.

Danny just about pulled a toeside 1080 in the comp.

"they're still terrible filmers AND poorly cutting between two cameras as one can't cover the whole course now because of tents that block the view." <BR>i agree, chris. why didnt they just use tripods? oh well, it was still terrible. and what was with the cameraman on the left (when the boat was on the left side of the course) zooming in waaaaay too much and losing the rider half the time? did that piss off anyone else besides me? someone please take that dude's zoom button away.

1st place..... Danny Hampson, Dallas Friday, Danny Harf. <BR> <BR>How about Harf's blind Pete off the double up!
