Meet Josh O'Connell, a New Zealand native residing on the Sunshine Coast of Australia where he shreds the local cable ski park.

He's a artist first, wakeboarder second and has one of the most refreshing outlooks on life of any wakeboarder I've ever met.

Some sick rail riding cut to a cruisy track courtesy of Athron.

Thanks for watching. . .

    love your angles on his tricks. very solid.
    balloon effects = awesomeness.
    brilliant video man, congratulations!
  • Thanks very much mate, the balloons certainly were fun.

    I think maybe they should change the old saying, about working with Children and Animals to include balloons! :)

    This is a great clip, well done, was it shoot on a Z1 or
    p2?
  • Thank you all of you for the kind words. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

    To answer your question, I shoot with a Panasonic HVX-202 (it's the asia-pacific 25p version).

    Nice... So how did mom get the board in her belly? Or did it just grow from his feet.

    I like the song... I need to look it up.
  • Athron is a great artist, very mellow, very cruisy. Love his stuff!

    Amazing! Cable wakeboarding is so cool. I sure wish it was more popular in the states though.
  • Cable is good times, you'll need to get yourself down to OWC in Orlando! They have a great setup there!

  • what export settings is this set to? I still can't quite get it right? Can anyone help. I want my videos in full HD not grainy HD!

    Nice work LipSlide. Some good angles. Not sure if the compression made it a little jumpy but it seemed like a few of the cross dissolves had a shot change during the dissolve.

    Ryan:
    "Yes. Your quota for the week is 500MB, so it’s a good idea to compress your video down from phenomenally high quality to just amazingly high quality. We recommend using the H.264 codec at size 1280×720, bit rate 3000-5000 kbits/sec (optimized for “download”), key frame every 30 frames (frame reordering on), using whatever frame rate you shot in. For sound, use AAC at 128kbps in stereo. This is what your export window should look like using Quicktime on a Mac: vimeo.com/help/hd#hd_encoding"
  • thanks man, i think if i increase to 5000kbits sec then it might work im doing it at 3000 at the moment and i dont seem to be getting the results! I've got some bodyboarding stuff coming soon guys keep your eyes peeled. I might start a sports videography section later.
  • Cheers guys! I export h.264 @ 1280x720 @ 3000kbps. Make sure you are doing a multiple pass encode. Single pass will render out quicker but looks like a dogs breakfast in comparison.
