Trailer for Push Process, Oakley’s Incredible New Video

Posted on September 30th, 2007 by Jason | posted in General, Media, Riders

Oakley SunglassesLike pretty much every one in the wakeboard industry, we thought Justin Stephen’s film from last year, The Truth, was amazing. From the first time we saw the final cut we were asking ourselves “how can he possibly top this?” Enter Push Process, the new Oakley team video directed by, yep you guess it, Justin Stephens. This time Chase Heavener (that’s a name from the past) also works his magic with incredible effects.

Although all we’ve seen so far is the trailer, it looks like Justin has worked his magic yet again, and the result is a movie that appears as though it will surpass even The Truth in terms of cinematography excellence and mind blowing angles and slow motion action. It’s also incredible to see to how much the sport has progressed in just the last year when compared to the riding in The Truth.

We’ll stop talking now so you can check out the trailer after the jump, enjoy!

Team Hyperlite Descends on Lake Shasta

Posted on September 26th, 2007 by Jason | posted in Gear, Media, Riders

Hyperlite WakeboardsThe Hyperlite wakeboard team gathered in Northern California recently to relax, recharge, and to take advantage of the incredible late season conditions Lake Shasta is known for. Fortunately for us they also brought along a video camera to capture some of the best free-riding we’ve seen. As an added bonus, there are some good shots of the 2008 gear, as the official purpose of the trip was to shoot video and images for the 2008 Hyperlite catalog.

As the season here in the Northwest starts to wrap-up, this video makes us wish we had a Shasta trip planned sometime in the near future to extend the season just a little bit longer. Hyperlite has put together a great team, and if they have plans to release more videos from team trips in the future we’re all for that.

Check out the video after the jump.

Preview: Living The Dream Tour

Posted on February 19th, 2007 by Jason | posted in General, Riders

What do you get when you combine some wakeboarders from the northwest with a video camera, a wakeboard boat and 3,500 miles of open road to explore? We’re not really sure either, but you can be certain it will make an entertaining wakeboarding movie with some impressive riding thrown in for good measure. That’s the idea behind the Living the Dream Tour, and it’s kicking off soon, so stay tuned for more information.
