Finally, the moment has arrived, Scuba Steve has chosen a winner! He came in to choose one winner among the hundreds upon hundreds of entries that were submitted. He narrowed the field to his top picks, and ultimately, chose his favorite video. Now one lucky winner will have his very own VX1000 courtesy of Scuba Steve.After hours of deliberation, Mexican food, Red Bull's, video watching and re-watching, Scuba decided upon four videos that were his top picks. From there, the four got narrowed down to two videos, then down to the one and only winner who reigns supreme.[zp]scubasteve[/zp]

Without further ado, the winner of the Scuba Steve Contest chosen by Scuba himself is:

    That’s our boy, nice work Deet.

  13. Matt says:

    Congrats, but I think its a bit unfair how the contest did require the best the best skate footy over last year. A lot of people had way more amazing footage, and looked way more professional then this. Ill admit my video was 5-6 minutes long maybe if you told people to be creative, unique, love for skating I would changed my ways but active said the best footage. #890 didn’t have too much great footage but congrats man im out

  14. cOdY mEnDoZa says:

    good job sik vid u deserved it!

  15. Crybaby says:

    hah this kid tried to make it like a transworld video i mean like 2-3 things in that video was cool man but i aint think he deserved to win soo many other filmers deserved it more then him seems like he was favored but ya dude good job on winning

  16. derek says:

    yea, this kid deserved more than anybody. of course people are going to hate because they arent cool enough to win and suck at editing. as for that matt guy, yea bro, the contest was totally about the skating. naaah im pretty sure it was about the editing and filming, not who can throw the most bangers down wilshire and hollywood. congrats deet. oh, one more thing, he was totally favored by scuba since we hang out with him everyday and drink coffee at the local starbucks. hahah baaaazzzing.

  17. Tammy T says:

    Dieter - check your e-mail and respond!!! Again… CONGRATULATIONS!

  18. Dieter. Great Job man. Anybody who is hating is just mad they didn’t win. And this contest was about FILMING AND EDITING NOT THE SKATING. Regardless Dieter had some excellent skating as well. Congrat’s! Oh and I heard you did another video anyway we can see that?

  19. Shaine says:

  22. Alex says:

    Looks like the winner already has a nice camera. . .probably the the kind that he just won. Bad choice.

  23. MD says:

    I like! no cliche corny dialoge about how we see spots, all original.

  24. Crybaby says:

    Angry Skateboarder this kid has no talent that won, the commentary was soo terrible, didn’t like 4 transworlds have that same commentary? Also this contest was suppose to be for best skateboarding footage so next time Active posts a contest go by the rules. Because a lot of people deserved to win this kids entry just wasnt that great, his artsy shots werent even on a tripod, editing wasn’t good and to be honest its not even hard to film this kid couldt even manage that part. I dont care though i entered tried to wn cause my cams were stolen but aint no big deal

    lolz all the sudden its a editing contest now? hah bogus

  26. josh says:

    deet deserved it and he put his own footy in there too hes got clean bigflips

  27. aaron says:

    hey good job diet pays off to spend everyday doing what you love keep going with it… o and all you haters need to shutup man

  28. graham says:

    wow crybaby shut up. why are you so mad that you didnt understand the contest? i thought the whole thing was about who had creative shots and who scuba saw the most potential in? maybe your video wasnt as good as you thought. no need to diss the winner. lets see your entry if its so much better. im waiting…

  29. News Mogul says:

    Fun fact: Crybaby posted as 7 different people on the contest page, each time saying that his video was the best. On this topic, he has already posted as 2 different people, both bashing the winner. Chill out. Give the winner some respect, he put a lot of work into something that paid off.

  30. Hey Crybaby!

    Regardless of how you interpreted the rules of this contest it clearly states that Scuba Steve was going to pick his favorite video period!!!! 890 happened to be it. Also, this was not a pity contest to give some undeserving kid a nice camera just because he has an old VHS camcorder. Now this kid’s footage did not suck by any means. And who says a good shot artsy shot has to be on a tripod. That’s just stupid this is skateboarding women’s tennis. And if you didn’t like this at all your lying to yourself. Whether or not I’ve heard the commentary 27 times in different videos it doesn’t get old. That is a dead horse I don’t mind being beaten. Where is your video anyway I was hoping for a good laugh?

  31. Wow the News Mogul just called you out son what are you going to do about it??!!

  32. codoinski says:

    yeaaaaah!
    such an amazing video
    definitely deserved it

  33. josh says:

    hey i wanna see crybabys vid too i need a good laugh tooo
    and deet should show his other vids too theyre all tight

  34. homeboy cheated says:

    he filmed maybe 1/4th of that footage. basically all of the footage in that montage was filmed by matt williams from san antonio and BIG O from houston. i dont even understand how he got all that footage. i think this should seriously be checked out because thats just a little unfair using footage basically filmed by everyone but him.

  35. dAWJR says:

    whats that song and on one of the runner ups theres another that one where the guy fakie/nollie 180’s up the curb and then wallrides that little wall

  36. Steven says:

    This video speaks to me.

  37. crybaby says:

    WOWWWW NICE GOING ACTIVE YOU SCREWED OVER A LOT OF GREAT FILMERS CONSIDERING A LOTTA PEOPLE BEEN SAYING THIS KID USED A FOOTAGE HE DIDNT EVEN FILM. WOW PROBABLY AIMED PEOPLE TAKING FOOTAGE AND PUT A MONTAGE TOGETHER FIGURES.

  38. john danielson says:

    okay “homeboy cheated” deet used my footage too because i let him. im not a prick. basically if you are going to give someone clips dont expect them to use it just for a certain thing because guess what? thats life. expect to see the clip everywhere if its being handled by someone other than yourself. and he probably got the footage from the fourduos http://ftp. and deet im glad you won. now you dont have to buy my vx1000 because you get one for free. so stoked on this win. you deserve it. keepin it real out in beaumont.

  39. emericaskate14 says:

    song name?

  40. eli curtis says:

    Same as alex looked like that dude was using the same thing but good editing.

  41. crybaby says:

    johndanielson that was a bad move of you even admitting he used footage, now over 700-800 people are gonna be bummed because this contest was rigged. I think the requirements were “SUBMIT YOUR BEST SKATE FOOTAGE” if it was saying Submit skateboard footage then yea I don’t think people would care. But dude every entry im sure most people used all of there own footage and I personally don’t think this was fair. Considering the fact he used your footage and the entry wasnt even that good i mean that first wannabe artsy shot on the trey flip? like was he serious? I think a lotta people should complain about this because it is a bit wack all of us/filmers contributed to this, used good footage, and got screwed. And for me posting my footage im sure you seen some of my footage around. other then this contest. I am not gonna favor but Matt Dao was a great entry. I kind of felt bad for him because his cameras were stolen so yea i would say matt or a few others i saw that blew my mind.

  42. this video waz made by a bunch of pussys i should have won this ****!!!!i think everybody agrees wit me when i say the intro was gay as fuhhhhhhh

  43. I agree with crybaby!!!

  44. crybaby says:

    Bullshit are you Matt Dao?

  45. poopie says:

    i thought the contest was to submit YOUR footage… i seen a couple clips that a friend of mine filmed… and i honestly think its gay that you won because judging by the footage, i seen at least 3 different types of cameras being used. i didnt even enter and i think they made a bad choice picking you.

  46. crybaby says:

    poopie who were ur runner ups? for the winners?

  47. TEEWHY!! says:

    ahha thats my homie scott mackeyy!!

    MAAACKKKEEYOOOOSSS!!!

  48. Barry says:

    The real question is, “How close would crybaby be to buying the camera himself if he would have found a part time job and saved up some money with all the time he spent whining about loosing the contest?”

    GREAT JOB DIET!!! AWESOME EDITING SKILLS!

  49. crybaby says:

    what? I own a HVX buddy I only entered this contest because I love using the VX1. Also are you serious about the job part?
