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!
  • LipSlide Productions 3 years ago
    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?
  • LipSlide Productions 3 years ago
    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).

    Amazing! Cable wakeboarding is so cool. I sure wish it was more popular in the states though.
  • LipSlide Productions 3 years ago
    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!
  • Sansom Media 3 years ago
    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"
  • Ryan Mackfall [team crashburn] plus 3 years ago
    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.
  • LipSlide Productions 3 years ago
    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.

  • LipSlide Productions 3 years ago
    Thanks Rick! Yeah, no boat! It's a bit cheaper that way let me assure you! ;)

    I've watched a lot of wakeboard videos and I really enjoyed this one! Slower pace which gives you a much better feel of how the sport is really a laid-back sport. Also, camera shots were great, balloons were an interesting twist and loved the nose-grind 360. I haven't seen that done before. I look forward to more videos from LipSlide Productions!
