Blacklist is a video all about one trip to Lake Powell by the wakeboarding and wakeskating world's most progressive and well-known riders. If that sounds familiar, it might be because it's the same formula that was used for one of the best wakeboarding films of all time, Mayday. Instead of FLF who produced Mayday, Blacklist is a collaboration between a trio of the sport's top video people in Justin Stephens of Cadmium Films, Ronn Seidenglanz of Sidewayz, and Joey Meddock

One thing we love in wakeboarding videos, is a video that has a unique style and original feel to it. That is "Boombox". Justin Stephens and Cadmium Productions spent some time with the Pointless Posse along with Scott Byerly and Gregg Necrason to put together a video that just flat out works! The music in Boombox was all done by one artist called MYG from Portland, Oregon, and the music is full of great beats that go well with wakeboarding, and would sound great coming out of any boombox. Each rider has a strong section featuring some of the latest and greatest tricks in wakeboarding, and much of the film was shot from unique helicopter angles.

From the makers of Class In Session, Bump Films brings you the newest DVD to help you improve your wakeboarding way! Higher Education teaches you every aspect of wakeboarding. The best pro riders and instructors in the sport give you the skills you need to be up and ripping in no time. Instructors break down each trick for you and you get to see slow motion footage of top pros from different angles performing the tricks.

While the lofty promise of protecting the soul is thrown to the wind amidst lawsuits, politics, and the almighty bottom-line, the book that is wakeboarding is being composed by those who draw the outside the lines. From the producer of Shaft and Shafted comes a 16mm film created to open your eyes to the dementia of what is being accomplished on a wakeboard. Bump Films is proud to present the Directors Cut of The Faction on DVD. Witness 20 foot gap sliders, huge double-ups, handrails, tricks that have never been seen, cheese wedge booters, picnic tables and whatever can be hauled out on the water and hit, slid or bonked.

Bump Films followed up Shaft, with another 16mm wakeboard masterpiece called "SHAFTED - The Saga Continues." Bringing you the top pro riders from around the world, with helicopters, 25 foot sliders, double-ups and triple-ups, along with groundbreaking technical tricks. SHAFTED contains one of the most memorable segments of all time as Parks Bonifay blows up your screen not once, but twice with an amazing technical display of including 900s, Double Half Cab Rolls, and more handle-pass inverts than you can shake a wakeboard rope at! FEATURED RIDERS Shaun Murray Parks Bonifay Darin Shapiro Rob Struharik Shawn Watson Brannan Johnson Shane Bonifay.

Just in time for the early-summer thaw comes Shaft, a 45-minute wakeboard video "incident" that features some of the top riders in wakeboarding, both on and off the water. You may have seen parts of this video already: You know, the one with Shaun and Parks dressed up like Beastie Boys'-style undercover cops a la "Sabotage" video. Well, the cops are back with more riders playing undercover including Darin, Brannan, Tara, the Heaneys and more. It almost seems as though way more time was spent making the "cops" scenes than actually filming the riding. Shot entirely on 16-mm film, Shaft has a smooth, fluid look. It was filmed on location in Oregon, northern California and Florida, providing a variety of backdrops. Although it boasts a long list of riders, it mainly features Necrason, Murray, Shapiro, Bonifay, Lavelle, Johnson and Siebring with a cameo by Randy Harris and a nice introduction to Shawn Watson.
