Hey guys I just finished our new video, and would love to get some opinions on it.
It is "Only the beginning"

http://www.blackwaterrydas.com/downloads.htm

You will want to right click on the link (Only The Beginning) and choose "save target as" to save it to your computer. I know most people know that.. Just letting those who may not know. Remember Amature video here, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Cool vid! I like the music, and the shot of the truck pulling out of the water, while the boat was backing out was pretty cool. That is not a shot you see very often.

Thanks Chris, I was wondering if anyone was gonna watch it. But I guess it is still early in some places..

Jeff, well after finding the right song, the rest took me about 2 days. Because I have to some too. But I got my priorities in line..

Eric.. Man you need to bring yourself out.. Havent even seen you on a board since you got Toasted that day at WFC.. holla

Nice vid man.
I have to say, though, out of all the tricks you guys threw in the vid, one of my favorites to watch was that huge late grabbed stalefish. I'd love to see more of that kind of stuff.

Just curious if you are happy with the switch from the Malibu...The wake in the Smoke on the
Water vid looks pretty sick, while the wake in the current vid thrown from the supra looks a little weaker/washier (ha ha if washier is a word)

(jnewton7) · (jnewton7) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 05-21-2007, 1:44 PM

Yes I was happy....The wake on the Malibu was fat but it was also slammed with 3200 pounds or so....and drank alot of gas. The new supra is a little better on gas and doesn't take as much weight to sink it. You can't ride as far back on the Supra because it gets washy tho.

(lyle) · (lyle) **Join Date: May 2004** 05-21-2007, 1:45 PM

we had over 3,000 lbs in the bu, it threw a great wake, but was pretty bad on the gas.. The Supra has a great wake with not as much weight, alot more vert.. I personally like it alot. We messed around and stuck some mad weight in the supra, and it made a pretty sick wake.. So I guess my answer to your question is yes I am very happy with it.. Jeff may have a little different opinion on it, Im sure he will chime in.. but I love it.

sweet video. looks like you guys are having a great time out there. very nice.

(helix_rider) · (helix_rider) **Join Date: Mar 2003** 05-21-2007, 2:26 PM

Great vid, I loved the feel of the 'fun' you guys have out on the water...spraying the lily pads (or whatever they were) epitomized it for me.

(wakeshredder16)

That was sick i love at the start when ur going around the boat. btw what did you use to do that i didnt see any boat chop.

The only thing i didnt like was there were some tricks that where looking schetchy and you cut them before the landings

thanks guys. we used another boat, just was idling around. Then just sped it up.

Awesome. Makes me want to go riding!

I like the attitude that you guys seem to be embracing: Going out, having fun and ripping it up with some buddies. No 'tudes, just good times.

Keep rockin!!

Very Nice! What song was that? Sounded like Daughtry? sp Went great with the video!

I agree with Blake.....nothing like good times with good buds..........(and your friends too)

I also liked the very beginning with the kid in the tall grass.....as the rig and boat go by in the background! Reminds me of my young'nz at that age....

Good times. Thanks!

(jnewton7) · (jnewton7) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 05-21-2007, 7:07 PM

Ya that was Daughtry....both songs

Great video. I liked the editing a lot and I agree with helix rider, the slide into the lily pads was killer!

Sick video man. Just curious, does the Supra wake have a kick at the top like Bu's, Nautiques, and MC's...or is it more of a mellow rampy transition.

(jnewton7) · (jnewton7) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 05-22-2007, 5:54 AM

The supra 21v has a pretty vert wake that will send you flying up.....Its a bit different than my old malibu...which was pretty rampy.

(lyle) · (lyle) **Join Date: May 2004** 05-22-2007, 6:51 AM

Rik.. That was one of my favorite parts too, I like the kid in the field, when I was filming that, my wife was laughing at me saying I was retarded for filming someone elses kids.. But the ol creative juices were flowin..

The Lily pad powerslide is one of my favs too, we just recently have been having some alligator sightings at our lake, so playing in the pads has reduced drastically if you know what I am saying..
