As most people have discovered by now, the Foilfreaks Video Contest was a huge success! Congrats to everyone who made videos as this really is an impressive...
All the videos are top shelf, very creative, entertaining and lots of time and talent put into them both in front of the camera and behind. My hat is off to...
Sweet! For me it was in 1996. Late night ESPN ran "Hot summer nights" pro waterski tour. Murphy rode a foil on a promo spot going into commercial. I leaped...
everytime I get near water, I begin evaluating it's 'skiability'. I have no idea when it happened, but I've noticed (as has my wife, friends, dog, etc) that...
First rode in 1991 at Sea World California. We had a couple of guys that were already doing rolls both ways, fronts, and working on ATB's. I did not get the...
I agree, I thought I knew who I'd be voting for even before the vids came out, but after watching them that is just not the case. The 'wrecking ball' move was...
I too got addicted before I had even tried it. I saw some of the earlier videos on the net and ran across my now good friend Dwight Burnette with one on the...
LOL - I figured that would happen for some people.with Miah and Kyser near the bottom of the pack on the "pre-vote"! Quick update: I think I'll turn on the...

Here are the details. Send me email on anything that needs to be clarified or something that might be missing from the rules. The final rules will be set on...
I became addicted to watersports at an age of 12 years. I started waterskiing behind my dad's 14-foot Lone Star aluminum boat with a 25-HP outboard in the...
I did a little testing on one of my front flips from last fall. I got 73 frames in the air, but it is really obvious I edited it in slow-motion. It won't work...
I just wanted to add my congratulations to all who presented their videos. As far as I am concerned you are all winners. It is a great showcase of your...
You may want to explain why the number of frames in the air will determine who went higher regardless of distance (or better yet, have Brett do it as Bryan). ...
<< I'd also suggest the rules include no outside objects - I can see someone riding at 8 mph and figuring out a way to hang from a bridge for 2 minutes, then...
"you see, the measurement of air by counting the frames goes towards the simple physics of flight. By using the correct angle of departure by the rider, he...
BrettE, you want to take this one? :-) To the paint stirrer: In this contest, Big Air is not just about peak point height, but also distance traveled. It's...
Nice... Yes - you need to ride-away! LOL - judging from some of the private emails I'm getting, I think some of the big air doodz are getting cold feet. Now...
Same for me, I've been ruined for any other use of open water for some time now. David B Brett E wrote: everytime I get near water, I begin evaluating it's...
I believe Geno was skiing on Lake Chatuge there - at the Georgia Mountain Flyin. The lake was gorgeous! Brad Scott ... From: Hydrofoil@yahoogroups.com...

1. I assume from other posts that your exit and entry criteria are going to be first frame completely clear of the water to last frame completely clear of...
David - I was thinking the same thing.. LOL :-) <<The hang time as determined by frame count will be right on with no errors outside of the 30 Hz resolution...
<< I assume from other posts that your exit and entry criteria are going to be first frame completely clear of the water to last frame completely clear of...
Blah, seriously, if you have video competitions in the future, mirror all the videos so my foilfreaks forum will stay open, please?... Oh, and I can already...
Whew! I wasn't aware there were so many mathematicians engineers, and physicists in this group. All postsconcerning distanceversus frame count were right on. ...
LOL ! Truly amazing! I used to be Strategic Air Commands Chief of Tactics in another life and I know we didn't use this many calculations for putting a Nuke...
