Just to remind everyone we will have the heli at Ledge to film the race and take photos. There will be a D.V.D. made of the race so make sure everyone turns up for what is looking like the best day for years.
Many thank's must go to Heliwest for providing the heli and let's see if we can get as many people lined up on the beach for the start.

I'll have a web movie edit up and running ASAP- As well as footage of the fastest race demons-i'll be trying my best to get a mug shot of every competitor that is part of this year's history making event!

Could be some pretty incriminating party footage in there too!


Look out for the motion sick cameraman in the heli!

Anyone approached the commercial TV channels to show the good fast footage of the leaders on the news or sports tonight etc?

Ideal opportunity .....especially as usually they show a line up of kit on the beach if we are lucky

Spoke to one of the guys from Channel 9 news this afternoon and they hadn't decided if they would fly up or not.

They are probably waiting for the news on who the new umpire will be for the cricket or whether that AFL druggo has had another bender. Stupid TV execs need to realise they have world class watersports right on their doorsteps in WA. People travel all over the world to sail and surf there.

Meanwhile the bogans of the world keep following those stupid ball games chasing the ball around the grass.

This is why commercial TV has a limited future as a mass media, catering for the lowest common denominator will eventually lead to a dead end.

I meant *give* them 20sec of the best footage

we complain about lack of coverage but I guess it wouldn't hurt the guys financially to release a little bit of their filming?

No offence Mobydisc but have you recently watched commercial free to air TV in this country? It would appear that the lowest comment denominator bogan Aussie doesn't need to much intellectual stimulation... I guess something as dull as cricket (I know I'll get flammed for this) is right up their alley.
