Baller dchristman Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 The feed is good and stable, but I'm back to watching with the sound turned down. Why oh why can't they have a tricker announce for tricks? I just can't deal with the wakeboarder names for tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MrJones Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Ya. A lot of yelling for this early in the morning. Especially watching at work on the down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 I love the webcast. It would be nice to have a tricker for tricks but I think the announcers do a nice job and they are trying to get the crowd there involved. I have announced regionals a number of times and it is a lot harder than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Seems like a number of D3 skis on the Jr. Men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ntx Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Tyler is a very accomplished trick skier (over 6,000 points) and knows the proper terminology. The problem is the guy with the gold colored mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gjohnson Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Tyler Boyd, who called tricks, tricked 4,130 last fall. Why do people complain about every web cast? With the popularity of the sport, we're lucky to have a web cast at all. I look forward to watching the Masters web cast every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted May 27, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sorry guys, maybe I'm just an overly sensitive tricker. I am enjoying the webcast. It is certainly one of the best I have ever seen to date. But... if "Danno the Manno" is a student of all towed water sports, he ought to learn the names for the tricks, or let Tyler call'em.

Baller MrJones Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Agree it's great to have a web cast. Tyler is great by the way. Comment not directed at him at all. Brooke is awesome. As a lefty I aspire to move up over the ski like she does into 1-3-5. Really thought she was going to get a piece of 5 ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Edbrazil Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Got to compliment the quality of the webcast. Not going in/out like we often see happen. Wonder what their secret is, other than a lot of $$? Pine Mountain is way off in the boondocks. That may help or may not. Hmmm...what was the problem with the reride for the first Jr. Boys jumper?

Baller Edbrazil Posted May 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2016 Disappointing that the live results are not being posted to this site: http://www.iwwfed-ea.org/classic/competitions/2016 That should be something really easy to do, and should be a whole lot more reliable than doing live video.

Baller Bill22 Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 Congrats to Nate!! Great ski by everyone in all three events!! It's easy to sit at home and make calls, I'm sure being a judge is a HARD job. They said the run off was unprotected, so did Will finish 4th??

Baller_ Wish Posted May 29, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted May 29, 2016 If Jeff was on a T3 it was not blue like all the others. He also put the handle in the back of Less Todds head. They had to unhook it from the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted May 29, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2016 Nate thought Will only got 4.5 so he stopped at 5. Relatively embarrassing....

Administrators Horton Posted May 29, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2016 @drago Nate. He had the pass run but stopped because he thought he had done enough. If he had bothered to go to 6 there would have been no run off.

Baller Bill22 Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 @Horton I would say it would only be embarrassing if he didn't win. He played it safe and did the S turn around five. And yes, a blind man could see he could have turned 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Skier Freddie Winter Posted May 29, 2016 Elite Skier Share Posted May 29, 2016 The oft repeated line is that judges do it for free and do it for the love of the sport so they should be immune to criticism. We as athlete certainly appreciate that they give their time. However, the fact stands that three of the last four years the slalom result has been decided because of a changed judges call twenty minutes or more after the event has finished. This is so bad for everyone involved. Forget about the pain as a skier of having the title taken away from you because the judges changed their mind (I have experience in this) well after you skied, think about the audience. No other sport would allow the audience to be so confused for so long after the event is supposedly finished. This is terrible and if we are to have any chance of bringing the fans back to the sport better decisions and rules must be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gmut Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 Very simply once Nate entered the course for his first pass the right to request a review should have been denied. If that is not the current rule then it should be....end of story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted May 29, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted May 29, 2016 Is there a rule on the amount of time it takes to review? A limit? Are they taking the full amount of time? Was there just one protest or did Will and Nate both protest? Announcers went back and forth on who made the protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wskier Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 I totally I agree with FWinter you don't see the NFL, NBA or any other pro sports saying yea we did blow the call so we will replay the game blown calls happen. If a certain judge keeps blowing calls you don't keep being him back. Make the call and stick with it . Shit you sit in the boat you know what the person skied. It's not that tuff. As for promoting the sport they should be interviewing the athletes after they ski they should be telling them what ski there riding there personal likes, there's plenty of time from their warm up pass till when it counts. If I'm Ho, Goode, Connelly, Radar,MC and Obrien it would be nice to see there skier up there talking about how they skied and their product and sponsors. As for the wake skating and wake boarding ,Freddy wouldn't you like to be able to fall twice and keep skiing, If that was the case 43 would go down.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 what @OB1 said -- just make a call. I just about went to sleep in the 30 minutes plus it took for them to all figure out that we were going to do a runoff. Felt bad for everyone, including Jeff and Ben who were standing around in their gear for an extra half an hour waiting their turn. Not the way to win over the audience.

Baller Drago Posted May 29, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2016 @Horton I tuned out, I really, really have better things to do, but I'm guessing Nate was told (again) that 4 or 4 1/2 was the score to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted May 29, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2016 @drago yes that is what seems to have happened. My point is he had very little more to do to be 100% sure he won.
