I dont know a lot of ones out there but im looking at the Opteka CXS-200 and the x-grip. I film Skateboarding and Skiing a lot and i find that my shots are too shakey for my liking when im doing follow ups. My budget is under 100 and any brand is ok. Suggestions or reviews would help me decide.

You're not gonna get a real stabilizer for under $100... The cam caddie/x grip is a handle and won't help with stability. You can buy a merlin-style stabilizer but those don't allow for low angles for skating. My advice is to save your money and buy a glidecam. It's very expensive but it is worth it in the long run.
