The Book - Wakeboard Instructional DVD Series
|
This Five Disk Series is being hailed as the most expansive - innovative wakeboard instuctionals dvd's ever. You get over 9 Hours....yes NINE hours of instruction on this set.....check out what they have to say!! It’s been almost nine years since the Wakeboard Camp opened. During that time we have seen and done a lot. We have traveled the world, narrated and starred in many wakeboarding movies, written a lot of instruction for the mags and web sites, been on TV and in feature films, done a few contests and graced many a page in the mags as well as a few covers. Some of the coaches have even become pretty big names in the sport along the way. During this time we’ve coached thousands, yes thousands of riders. We have learned a lot about coaching and about the sport itself. We have repeatedly been told that we should make our own instructional but it just never seemed to come together, until now. “The Book” DVD Wakeboard Instructional Series is now available at www.perfski.com!! I know, you’ve heard it before, this Instructional is the most comprehensive, blah, blah, blah. But seriously, we mean it. We have devoted the entire last year of our lives putting together what we feel is the best Instructional ever and now I am going to spend the next few minutes explaining why this DVD series is different. I am even going to make a bold prediction and say that it is going to be a long time before anyone puts out another wakeboarding instructional once this one gets out. Up until now, wakeboarding instructionals hardly scratched the surface when it came to teaching people what they needed to know about the sport. Most instructionals teach you how to get out of the water and then how to jump the wake. Well we have one entire disc devoted to details that don't even pertain to riding. There is over 90 minutes of information about how to get ready to ride. Many of you might be thinking, "man I don’t need all that crap". Well you may or may not, but I bet you have friend, girlfriend, wife, child or someone else that could benefit from a few tips on driving, etiquette, equipment selection, equipment set up, etc. Maybe this series will even save a fight or two between riding partners, make your riding more enjoyable. Dr. Phil, look out. Next, we have another whole disc devoted to just board skills, body position, edging basics and more. We have spent the past ten years or so figuring out the building blocks of a good wakeboarding foundation. So there you go, two full DVD’s worth of info that has never even been covered before. Next, we get into the stuff that has been covered, sort of. For instance, one DVD on the market today covers 105 tricks in 86 minutes. Do the math and you’ll quickly realize how much time is spent on each trick. “The Book” spends between six and ten minutes for each base invert. That's right ten minutes! Do you really want to learn the ins and outs of a trick or do you just want to see yet another pro doing a trick and saying, “go to the top of the wake, do the trick, spot your landing.” I know I don't. That’s why we did something about it. By allowing this much time for each trick, we can fully explain the mechanics of the trick, what it takes to get there, trouble shooting, etc. It also allows us to utilize the many advanced features that this DVD series has to offer. This thing is so overkill it’s ridiculous! The series contains graphics and techniques never before used in wakeboarding instructional videos. Some of the techniques used are split screens or video compositing that allows us to show you a trick being done on the water and the trampoline simultaneously. They are even synched so that they match exactly in their rhythms. Next is Mike's amazing 3D animation which allows us to help show you things like boat driving techniques, trick comparisons, diagrams and impossible camera angles. We also used chroma key or green screen to add visual appeal and also to let you see the coach that is laying down the teachings. Multiple camera angles help you visualize your moves by showing you things from a different perspective. Many of the drills taught in the series were developed at The Wakeboard Camp where more people have learned to ride better than any other place in the world. We have even coined many of the terms used to teach today including “trip flip”, “ollie Edge”, “the graduation ladder” and “loose rope and leverage turns”. This series also features all original content. Many of the instructionals on the market are using recycled material as a short cut to getting shots of the tricks they needed. We started from scratch and actually had a story board, shot lists, a script and shooting schedules. We also had many of the top riders in the world ride for this video including Kyle Schmidt, Ben Greenwood, Aaron Reed, Kurt Robertson, Mike McLin, Joey Arcisz, Keith Lyman, Amber Wing, Andrew Adkison, Cathy Williams, Jeff Weatherall, Bo Burton, Philip Combs and Gerry Nunn. Last but not least, “The Book” DVD series is longer than every other instructional on the market today, combined! It contains almost nine hours of content. Then, if you consider the multiple audio tracks, you can multiply the last three discs by a factor of four. Now that’s a lot of content. |
