Well I've got my credentials for Surf Expo and have checked out the ramp. I think I'm the first to get the scoop on the name of the contest, it's Volcom's "Atomic Jigsaw on a stick" no kidding!
So I had to get some footage of the ramp before it was done so I walked over to my hotel and grabbed my video camera and went back. When I got back I found out that the ramp was positioned a little sideway's, it's (supposed to open up to the Volcom booth at one end) it was the forklifts lined up piggy back style that clued me in. Anyway, day one, found out the official name for the contest and video taped a bunch of forklifts trying topush the whole ramp 6'... Check the video "Atomic Ramp Move" maybe you'll get a laugh, certainly you will know what the ramp looks like.
I hope my video camera holds out! I have a GL1 and a GL2, I brought theGL2 and it's flaking out. I was going to bring both and maybe get 2 angles,but I didn't bring the GL1 and so I don't have a back up. Back to Canon with the GL2 after this weekend, maybe some new heads are in order.
