Baller TravisNW Posted February 20, 2015 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2015 Does anyone know if there will be a live webcast for the moomba masters events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted February 20, 2015 Baller Share Posted February 20, 2015 There traditionally has been one. I would say it's a good assumption there will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted February 26, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted February 26, 2015 I looked at the schedule of events and participants. Andy Mapple is competing. I really want to watch that on the webcast. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TravisNW Posted February 27, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wonder if competing in Moomba means he will not compete in Big Dawg? Though I believe he competed last year and still skied big dawg which makes the rule regarding 36mph open rated skiers and there eneligibiliy to ski big dawg for two years unclear to me.

klindy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 @TravisNW nothing in the rules about 36mph Open Rated skiers. Big Dawg rules state eligible skiers are the following = "Skiers 35 years and older, who have not placed in the top 10 in the Open Division of a Pro event in the past three years or any skier over the age of 50." Andy's 52 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller auskier Posted March 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 3, 2015 The hope was to have the webcast functioning for the juniors which kicks off in 9 hours time, however some 'technical difficulties' may delay that a little, but we will hopefully have it up and going! For those of you familiar with the moomba cast, things will remain pretty much the same as recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 The fact that they are using the free version of ustream with commercials is so unbelievably bush league. http://media.tumblr.com/fe497dd337d9af8479bb6398b9565d16/tumblr_inline_mg6n5ltl6X1rxe4lt.gif Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted March 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2015 Commercials would be a lot less intrusive if they were timed to not come on randomly, at times right in the middle of some key action on the water. Webcast is still cutting out at times. But, when it is on, it is nice and clear, with commentary. Only one camera view, from shore, though. Maybe we'll get a boatcam for Finals? Back when I was there, the local channel HSV7 had hours and hours of live coverage. If you're in the US and want to watch, you need to adjust your sleep schedule significantly. Melbourne time is 16 hours ahead of Eastern US standard time. Good for Nightowls and insomniacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted March 6, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2015 So is it super hard or costly to archive it and play it during US waking hours?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kelvin Posted March 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2015 It all depends on the CDN they use to broadcast. When I do webcasts, I use a CDN that can automatically archive segments and allows DVR type rewinds of the live action. It all depends on doing your research and $$$$ and additional bodies to run multiple cameras. Other than that, its easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted March 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've been watching on my phone and there hasn't been commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 Do I correctly recall that the webcast for last year’s men’s jump finals went to commercial during Freddy’s set? As I recall there was all this built up anticipation to see who wins and then I was watching a commercial for Cheerios or Depends. I guess that makes sense because I had stayed up so late it was nearing breakfast time and I almost sh*t myself when they cut to commercial.

Baller Kelvin Posted March 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2015 While watching yesterday, I did notice a countdown timer in the upper left corner. It told you when the next commercial was coming and gave you an option to "Watch Now". It was frustrating because it was more than just a single 30 second commercial.

Baller Cam Posted March 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2015 Last year I watched on my IPad and laptop at the same time so random adverts would be on at different times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted March 6, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2015 They should rework that service to force the webcaster to release commercials within minimum intervals or shut the stream off. That would allow the commercials to air while putting the choice of timing into the webcaster's hands. The webcaster will be able to release commercials during skier change, etc. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 Or spend $100 a month for no commercials. @MISkier that is the way ustream works. If you could control the commercials why would you upgrade to the pro version?

Baller_ MISkier Posted March 6, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2015 You mean they could have signed up for a month for $100 and this whole issue would go away? Or, is there a minimum duration/contract? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 @MISkier I am not 100% clear how it works.

Baller ntx Posted March 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2015 Are you guys ever happy. Everyone complains when there is no web cast.... And when there are commercials. Go to Australia and watch live. I am happy to see any web cast at all. Thanks for what ever they send over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted March 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2015 Run 2 devices and start them at different times, when the ads kick in you simply look at your iPad or whatever until they pass. Not particularly hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 @ntx i think the critique about the webcast is fair. as an Australian I enjoy all the live US web casts without this much disruption during the critical passes, like Sandro's 10.75m that i just missed for a Pringles ad - embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ToddL Posted March 9, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2015 Regardless of the ustream issues, I have enjoyed having a web cast without blaring loud music. Plus, their microphones seem to be better quality and able to handle the higher SPLs of an excited announcer. Or maybe they have decent compressors on their mics. (I just get so tired of hearing announcers yelling into a cheap and clipping microphone at webcasts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller schafer Posted March 9, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2015 I had no commercials on my iPhone either. Thought the sound was great. But I did miss the display on the screen of current skier and scores. And no replays. But the commentators were good. And some really damn good skiing.

Baller dchristman Posted March 9, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2015 @toddl agreed on the loud music. I also appreciate the announcers knowing the names of tricks instead of referring to the names of wakeboard tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
