Video Submissions Wanted-help skimboarding

[wardovision]

Ok, so "helping Skimboarding" might be taking it a little far. You would however help the Cabo contest organization in our quest to be a bigger, better event this year.

Here's what I'm looking to do.

I want to make an online video comprised of multiple min-vids and then have it available for a $5 high-def download. 100% of the proceeds will go the to pro purse of this October's Cabo contest.

[The Dtrick]

im down what video of mine do you want?
green eggs and am?

[The Dtrick]

edit: this is going to a full division of pro right?

not like a contest with 12 "pros", and the top 8 get money, cuz i dont support that shit.

[Shawn Kenny]

[Shawn Kenny]

We had 21 pros at the 1st event and not a dime went to anyone from Cabo. edit: correction Jaime got 2nd place

I'm hoping for more this time around but the purse needs to be worth traveling for.

[wardovision]

ah, got you. No this will be legit.

I'm also trying to pimp out the contest's name and have a potential suitor in mind. Instead of the LES Open it might become the "2010 _____ Open if negotiations work out.

[TBABY]

I would buy

2010 Nike Open?

[coleberr]

this is gonna be sssiiicckkkk

[wardovision]

Sure,if they want to throw down. If someone like that came knocking I'd raise the asking price a bit but yeah if Nike wants to give me $10,000 to throw a contest I'd gladly welcome them into skimboarding. IMO "selling out" is a lot better alternative to $1300 for 1st place.

...but like I said I already have someone in mind

whatever you're most proud. If possible I also want to highlight the plethora of media types we have in skimboarding and their contrasting styles

[wardovision]

Oh yeah and I'm about to embark on a journey with the lands End team down the coast of Baja so I wont be doing the final compilation until mid July.

[coleberr]

I dare all submitters to do new edits for submission, so fresh and so clean

I'm going to cabo with my buddy from July 1 to 17, which I plan on making a decent sized video from.

Sean when are you hoping to have all the videos by?

[narwhal]

SI will throw something at you.

[Shawn Kenny]

ooohhh, I can wait for that.

I'm going to push it back until the end of July. That also gives me time to setup a bank account for the contest, have a hosting site ready and tie up all the other loose ends.

2010 Wardo Open

[Robert Huffman]

ooohhh, I can wait for that.

cool, ill try my best to get it done in time, or i might make a separate video for your thing (depending on how much footage i get )

[Derek Makekau]

got a 7D coming in wardo, i'll make something for you before the end of july for sure...oil or no oil.

[wardovision]

wow, thanks everyone. I'm so stoked on the positive response.

I figured I need to do anything and everything possible to raise money so I dont have to eat my words about pitiful prize purses

[tingey]

Wardo can you setup an online donation site? I would be happy to donate to the cause.

[davidkushner]

Just finished a quick 30 second edit of this years Vic contest. It will be posted within the next week if you are interested. I like the idea of showing the contrasting ways of media types that are available.

[coleberr]

Guys i'm bumping this because i think it is a good idea and needs to stay in the limelight

Good thing you bumped. I don't have videos, but I have $5 to spend

[solvenskim]

Any new info Ward?

[Adam Hayward]

i'll definitely make something new for this. it seems like it would add to the incentive of paying for it if people made stuff that cant be seen for free already

great idea wardo. i hope every person who sees this gets on board

[coleberr]

just wanted to bring this one back up i know the general consensus was to aim applications more towards the later half of summer but I would like it to remain in the focus of the masses

[Hotboxcomp]

beer money?
