Backyard water ramp

Thought you may like to see our little backyard setup.  I could care less about the edit quality and the sound (it's terrible and there is none) but you can get a feel for the jump and enjoy the follow cam!

Thanks for the compliments on the ramp and not ripping the editing!

A couple of the guys at the end are closer to 40 than 30 so even oldfarts can be newschoolers!

That was super sweet, nice work.  You are extremely lucky to have that.  I liked the cable cam shots a lot.  Did you have to build a harness and all that jazz for the cable cam, someone was obviously holding the camera.  You have a real fine setup, keep up the good work.

To answer a couple of the questions...

My brother operated the camera while he was sitting on a disc attached to a chain rope that was suspended from an overhead tree.

We're not rich!   We've all gradutated from college and have good jobs, and decided to upgrade from soap and outdoor carpet.

This project started because I blew out my entire knee at a big air event early season and needed something to do during the offseason besides rehab.

Location: Ten Buck Too: an hour outside Milwaukee, WI

thanks again for the compliments.
