Oh, and on another note, I have a digital camera that shoots video, and I can get them onto my computer and watch them, but I don't know how to combine them into a single video, Anybody know if there's a program I have to buy or anything??
How are you guys doing your videos?

If you have windows, use "Windows Movie Maker"

It is really basic and will do everything that you need to start off with.

Just read through all the help sections first and you'll know the program inside out within an hour.

Well before the second series started I asked them if I could use any boards, eg freebord for sliding and they didnt say no. So worst comes to worst use the FB footage you may need it.

I don't know if I'm alone in this thinking but, I hope that Monday we don't get another new challenge without seeing what the original #2 is supposed to be. The whole concept of hardest trick first so you can have the extra time to learn is getting thrown out the window here. I'm not a great slider, so I don't want a hard slide trick with not as many weeks to work on it as some of these easier tricks we're going to be getting. It's bad enough that I have the G-turn (that I can't pull off yet) looming over my head as well as a trick that I don't even know what it is or when it's coming.

Malakai what's the 411?

Next challenge is up, it's #5. I'm still not sure what board I want to use for it...dancer could be tough but also nice looking, and shuvits on the Vanguard just aren't fun for me.

I'm really wishing that I had done the first challenge. These tricks seem to be way harder than the first time around =/

who else is a little bit peeved we haven't seen challenge #2 yet? harder challenge = more time allowed to learn it. I think it's kind of silly that everyone isn't being given the proper amount of allotted time...

I don't think you have much to worry about for challenge #2, I doubt it'd be a pressure spin or something. But for people who haven't/aren't used to proper downhill sliding it is very unfortunate. But still, we are led to believe it is a downhill slide of some sort so if you practice your Colemans and toesides, by the the time the challenge comes out it hopefully won't be too big of a deal.

Oh, and congratulations FatBastard on getting mentioned in the newsletter so nicely.

you must be ignoring my post (like four or five above)

I'm a little pissed about the whole deal. But hey, what do I matter.
