I think there are way to many cable videos...everytime I want to watch some boat riding (because that is the only thing I ride behind), i am finding less and less fresh and new edits coming out. Granted, I think cable parks are AWESOME and wish I could be riding at one, but until I do...I am not as stoked when I watch cable park vids as I am when I watch a boat set. I know they are revolutionizing the wakeboard industry...but not helping me fill my daily wake video stokage meter.....

I sort of agree. I don't agree that there can ever be too many of any type of wakeboarding video, but given the ease of shooting video at a cable park, the ratio of cable videos to boat videos has gone way out of whack! I don't think we're getting fewer boat videos. We're just getting a lot more cable videos. I will very rarely pay for a cable video to run on WakeWorld. It would have to be some pretty crazy stuff to get me to open my wallet. There's just too much good cable video available for free on Vimeo and YouTube.

Yeah I have been checking out Wakecompound.net! Its an awesome new site. Yeah I guess filming a cable set would be a lot easier (filming from shore/another rider, etc.). Its good to see that the cable parks have really made the sport of wakeboarding a lot more popular by providing a cheap way to ride, and that they have really changed the rail riding aspect of wakeboarding which has completely been revolutionized....maybe I just need to get my ass to cable park.

I agree, doesn't get me as pumped cause I've never ridden a cable park. AZ needs to get one and this is a proposal I'm crossing my fingers...

Sounds lke you guys need to pony up and go to a cable park... Not to beat a dead horse, but cable is the the future of this sport. You should check it out.

My 8-Ball says... "Outlook not good". With the price of gas going up it's even less likely that behind the boat wakeboarders will be able to afford a camera.

Im glad to see Im not the only person who hates wakesurfing. All of my friends who suck at riding love it and especially love to do it when there is good water to wakeboard on. On a crowded weekend, it doesnt bother me because there isnt ish else to do

But then the good boys @ C.I.E. made some sick stickers that say. "friends dont let friends wakesurf!" HAHAH Love it! Have a whole line of those stickers across my Back of My Boat!

i think it depends,
if your a boat rider cable vids might be less interesting to you, vice versa if your a cable rider you might be more interested in cable vids over boat.

Even if there were fewer cable videos there wouldn't be more boat videos.

I love it. I've been looking to cable videos for motivation behind the boat.

i didnt read the whole thread, but im with you.
i love WAKE boarding in its pure origonal form. i dont care for the spin offs.
if i open a video and its cable i imidiatly close it. same thing with wakeskating.
i even do this on wake DVDs, i will skip the chapters of the wakeskate riders.
while i envy and appreciate there incredible skill, i just dont care to watch that niche of the sport.
but i can sit and watch boat riding for hours.

and yes boat vids are getting much harder for find seems like. cable vids seem to be poping up 2or3 to 1.

I'm for keeping the cable video's coming (never rode cable)... Can we just STOP the spinning 90 - 180 while on the kicker and calling it a 900 or more please.
