The answer is easy. Because they did a better job. They weren't making music videos, they were filming races. Competitive races.Why would you film a RACE and not show the boats running or hear their engines?

Yeap thats what got my attention,at lest they need to have the motor sound,then they could talk over it.The only other one was Destin when they filmed it from a air plane,that was good footage!!

[QUOTE=smokeybandit;2982970]I can do it for you. I bought a DVD/VCR just to record my race tapes. Here's some samples of the quality.

What software did you use to download your DVD's to
Youtube? I have DVDs created from old tapes, but don't know how to download them to Youtube.

I agree with you guys that go for the original soundtrack - I can't abide the obligatory rock track (why is it always rock?!) that accompanies so many vids on you tube etc. I think that one of the reasons most folks who are into motorsport are into it is because of the noise - that's the only music we need!

I used Microsoft Movie Maker to save them on the computer. Not the best, but it gets the job done. Although, Phil keeps telling me that the speed is too fast. I told him that I was just going faster than he remembered and that Rich's voice was higher back then. After all, it couldn't be that I did something wrong.

Haha - am on the floor laughing !

9 mons later , yes thats keywest 94 I got some pics, I will have to get them on a cd. he was cool to talk to and funny. its sad he passed away a few years later and Tom Gentry , that sucked when he flipped in the harbor he was in open class chasing down recovery for the over all winner the last race. TOM WAS IN A 40 SKATER RECOVERY 46 SKATER IN SB CLASS.. I was happy for bobby moore who ended up 1st in open class in a japanese red skater 46 flat deck but he was worried about TOM and then it sunk in that Tom was hurt more than they said. I always said I would go back every year still have not been back. cause I was always working on something new for the boat so money went there 1st. this yr I bought a SABER BOAT so maybe next yr haha.

phil I sent a pm to you, are you and rich selling dvds now? If so how do I get them my old videos are worn out. plus I have not had a vhs hooked up for a few yrs. thanks art
