Kelly, Factory 7, ahoy am loving the content idea, Kelly, add this to the menu, add a list of what moves are outstanding, then us photogs will know what images are required, i know DC mike loves his motodrive and we can come up with image seqinces for everything from rolls to RABS and backflips and nu school moves like that forward flip, schmo roll thing ma bob we saw on lines of fire......

Pros... this is a good oportunity to do a little work for yor brands, hook up a photog, get a sweet seqince of a move and then write a blow by blow of how you pulled it off, i am sure kelly will display your sponcers logos, heck even get your sponcer to sponcer the page and put some $$$$$ back into the sport they rape everyday for us joe soap bodyboarders.

Just my 6 pence worth.
Keep up the good work amigios....

Thanks for the support here bru ... would love to see the content just flowing in.

Ja - added "Tutorials" to the "Words" menu option last night. We have 2 up now, the first from AT and includes a video. The second is the Sean Tickner DK floater and works better with frame grabs. These two guys have been awesome with their contributions and we're going to be getting a few of the other Factory 7 team to submit a few in future - just relies on getting a good sequence shot - but sixty40 is always open to contributions from everyone and I try encourage that (maybe not enough sometimes) - obviously we have standards though.

Pros - for sure, it's not only about putting something back ... opportunities like this help you promote yourself and make you better value as a sponsored rider. It's all a big knock-on effect - a little effort from everyone will snowball but there are very few who are doing much.

If you're sponsored - send in a contribution with some great photos. You can look through the tutorials and see what moves are not covered or you may think you can give better advice ... I have no stress in covering the same move by different riders. I'll put your sponsors logos.

If you're a company - I'd get onto your team riders. Make them work for their sponsorships - and reward the team riders which are better value.

Photographers --- as Pierre reckons ... a great reason for a hook-up. Or if you have a classic sequence then get onto the rider and ask him to give us a how to on it.

Thats awesome! I love reading about how the Pro guys bust those moves.The way they say, just bottom turn and bust out! I wish it was that easy, but it's a cool way to learn to do the moves.

Hey why dont you guys start off with more basic moves and then move to the more outrageous moves. You know start with spins and rolls and build it up to ARS's and all the other hectic moves, kinda like a "How to" guide to bodyboarding.

Later
