very nice video, impressive twisting and jumps !!! love the 360 over nosers

It looks very rough and somewhat scary, just out of curiousity what do you do when you crash or loose the ski ?

You wait for the rescue guy.

After they tow your ass to shore, they'll try to get the ski. This might take a while.
Ask Mark Gomez, aka Fearlessnuts.

:squint:
its tight Depsite being thankful I got my ski back the :439:(rescue guys) will hook your top loader to attempt to drag your 600lb sunk ski in breaking your pump shoe and teaking the hell out of your toploader. This is of course before the event staff learns from their struggles and has everyone put the mandatory tow loops on the back of the skis which is the part exposed when the ski is bobbing around out there.

Cool vid! I know this will be an unpopular comment, but I thought the scoring was to be 50% surf and 50% aerial? It seemed like the BF and BR show with the exception of a few really cool 360 variants.

Was there more Surf style riding or did peeps just say screw the 50% surf score and focus on BF/BR scores?

There was some surf riding, however, It is pretty tough to do slashes and re-entrys on waves that huge and that gnarley. It seems like the surf riding was just trying to survive on the faces of those giant waves and get off of them before they kill you. Look on www.barry-blanchard.com for the full un-edited vids. There is hours of vid. I'll try to add more of the surf riding to part II.

Check out Serlins HUGE re-entry at the end of the vid...

If you could have seen it in person you would think different, Not bashing you! The video is awesome thank's. I think X2addict worded it best he said it was survival riding.

DJ,
Thanks for editing the video for me. I knew there was good stuff in there. :smile:

I added a link to it to my Surf Slam video page near the TOP.
http://www.barry-blanchard.com/movies/jetski/freeride/surfslam2009.html

As DJ said the complete unedited over 3 hours of video video is available for download on the link at the bottom of my surf slam page. What are going to watch this weekend? Some "new on DVD movie" or the world's best?
