Baller Texas6 Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 Marcus continues outdoing himself. This is fantastic work right here; couldn't agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's the best representation of the speed, power and excitement of skiing I've ever seen. Huge props to @MarcusBrown. But I just want to push back a bit on the idea that it's mostly skiing's fault we aren't on TV anymore. Could we present a better show? Absolutely. But the biggest reason we aren't on TV anymore is that ESPN no longer needs inexpensive programming like it did in the 80s and early 90s. It now has enough money to secure the broadcast rights to the biggest sporting events in the world (Monday Night Football, NBA Finals, etc.), pushing out sports like skiing, beach volleyball and arm wrestling. All is not rosy in the sport, but I think it is self defeating to paint a picture bleaker than it is. Not saying Marcus is the only one doing this, it's a trap we all fall into sometimes. Marcus, more than anyone else, is trying to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller disland Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 Ok, so we aren't getting on ESPN, but there are so many other channels. Outside television is a pretty cool one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's right. In fact you can buy a 22-minute show on Outside for roughly $10,000. That doesn't include production costs. The difference is that before we didn't have to pay, or were possibly even paid to be on TV, now we have to pay to play. The media landscape has changed on us.

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted June 8, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted June 8, 2016 To be honest, I usually don't really "get" FlowPoint TV.* But this episode really drew me in and 9 minutes seemed to pass in a heartbeat. It's such a powerful reminder that with a skilled edit, competitive waterski events could be crazy-exciting and very compelling TV broadcasts. *This may be a good thing. Old Geeks probably aren't really the target audience. I love Marcus Brown, and he'd for sure be on my short list of guys to "get a beer" with (except for the part where I don't actually drink beer, but you get the idea). I'm just too old-at-heart for his video style most of the time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller disland Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 @Than_Bogan go back to season 1 and repeat. He explains it and being old has nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingshredd Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 @MarcusBrown, That is really great stuff and another example of the waterskiing lifestyle from the competition standpoint! Digging the FlowPoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 WOW! Don't know about anyone else but I think they would echo this sentiment - Makes me want to show all my work buddies this video before a meeting and say "this is what I attempt to do!" It also makes me want to invite kids over so they too can enjoy the magic of the LAKELIFE/WaterskiLife with my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rodltg2 Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 Upon watching it a second time I noticed that the scores on the screen in length not in "off ". That's a great start to get the general public to understand it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted June 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 8, 2016 I really like all them. Reminds me of all the great times with the family at the lake, hanging out all day.

JGray Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 @MarcusBrown! great work. I am challenged this year to make many tournaments. Probably only get to ski 2 or three and the first is a few weeks from now, but this sure made me miss the competition and the camaraderie found at tournaments. Thanks for your hard work to showcase these great sports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Texas6 Posted June 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2016 Ping pong is the rock, paper, scissors at our house, capable of ending any squabble or determining who has ownership of the next honey-do. Count me in on the Big Dawg Pong World Tour. Thx for the info on Marcus @Matthewbrown; was always curious; I trained with Jenny for a few years and never wanted to broach the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
