Scuba Steve Picks a Winner!
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:
Comment #890 - Dieter Galvan

Want to watch all the entries? Check out the thousand or so entries here.
also barry I can care less about losing my entry sucked anyways but I rather see actual people who deserved to win. Not some kid using other peoples footage very unfair to many people. You shouldn’t talk so much online man because you know nothing about me. heh this guys telling me to save up money hahahaha. niiice
This is classic TRANSWORLD style video,its becoming stupid,besides this dude has vx already,I think somebody without vx should won the contest,it would be much better…
uh….. crybaby is gaaaaaaaaaaaay and should probably be punched for whining so much about this. deal with it homie. and maybe your the one that should get on here less, look how many comments you have on here. plus the active guy totally OWNED you and you have yet to reply to him.
mad props to the homie that won, sick little ditty bro. stoked to go filming later. i’m saving up for the VX2000 myself….
later days kids
Haha congrats to the winner. Im getting such a laugh watching Crybaby ***** and moan and get owned. Good times on Active news…Cry you should hook up with Cameron
can anyone claiming that the footage was stolen actually PROVE IT? all you are doing right now is looking like a sore loser dumbas$ that has to make up a reason why they didnt win. crybaby im still waiting to see you r entry if its so good. you also got totally owned by active.
ohhhh maaaaaaaaan, i hate hearing people talk about liking skateboarding. haha crybaby is a funny guy. the rules didnt say the only way you could win is if you had a camera but it got stolen or you cannot win if you have a vx. i mean, they should have though, right crybaby?
**** the haters deet you won and the people here talking **** (CRYBABYcoughcough) are getting nowhere..i love you
You guys are all hating too much!
This guy deserved to win.
I watched a lot of those entries and
I cant tell you how many shakey camera’s,
chopped off heads and weak edits I saw.
He entered and won, Live with it fools!
This guy is a good skateboarder. But he was being filmed on pro camcorders allready, someone who was filmin with a non pro cam should of one to be honest.
A vx1000 should go to someone who desrves a good camcorder and isnt allready bein filmed with decent cameras
why would you hold a contest asking for “the best skate footage” and then eliminate all the best filmed stuff just because it was filmed with a decent camera? that doesnt make any sense. you can film good stuff with cheap ones, you just need to be more creative
that robin girl is such a babe.
I really wanted to Post Crybaby’s video but he removed it from you tube. Wonder why? Anyway I thought this was funny. These are some of the posts from a certain IP address aka “Crybaby” Using all kinds of different names and pumping himself up sick to win. Running an internet news site is so much fun!!!!

Patches ur video sucked, park footy and skating wasnt even good. The contest is for best skate footage. Loops, and Matt Dao in my opinion. Both of those dudes show talent with filming matt dao is a little shakey but yea I think matt dao and loops will be final picks. switch back 360 a 14? yea man deffinatly amazing

loops video was really good tricks were incredible, filming was very amazing. He put that vx1 to work at night which is a lotta skill involved how clear everything was. for sure tight and on page 44 there was one cool vid too many to watch

Oh I almost forgot. Loops is Crybaby!!!
so he makes a fake comment saying “loops video reminded me of Transworld videos”, as if it was a compliment? and then he bags on the winner because his video is too much like a transworld video? what a hipocrite idiot. get over it you loser. this is probably the same kind of kid that cries when his daddy or mommy doesnt get him what he wants.
No its just that me and matt found it unfair so yea of course people are gonna complain we all knew this kid didn’t film all those clips. Anyways im sure we aren’t the only ones mad ya know? I honestly woulda liked seeing Matt Dao win since his cameras were stolen, I never said my entry was the best so that is a lie. I own a HVX200, my last vx1 ya it went so i entered this last minute also. I honestly would of liked seeing Matt or John win it rather then this kid winning using other footage he didn’t film but whatever man u guys know best ya know.
Angry skateboarder nerd my video was the little video with the last trick being switch back 360 down redondo im sure a lot of people remember it. And im not bitching its just wack how a kid wins and didn’t even film most of the things in the video me, matt and 3 other people are kind of bummed but its all good man its only a vx1.
and thanx guys for ur input on liking my vx1 night footage im known putting the vx1 to work at night been filming for a while man. I mainly entered it because it was a skate filmer contest i seen it last minute went for it. I bet you if u wanna see some stuff from me Angry Skateboarder MOD i would blow ur mind I film HD/HVX, and VX1 fish shots. I am a very inspired skateboard filmer. And im not really the type to ***** but yea man personally Matt Dao, Patches wasnt too bad, and a few others deserved it a lot more then this kid im over it guys I had fun
go skate/go film 
You lost man — stop whining. I watched the “loops” video when it was posted and I got the impression you were some rich kid with expensive equipment and didn’t know how to use it. Just because your stuff is clearer or steadier and has better tricks doesn’t mean it is creative or worth any kind of prize. It just means you have more money and better connections. Props to the kids making due with cheap gear and beating the egomaniac Crybaby.
Ok, this video should not have won, heres why.
1 - intro was typical transworld, but 100x worse. the voices werent ethusiastic, they werent filmed with a mic, and the “arty” shots were filmed terribly.
2 -obviously didnt film it himself, there was vx1, vx2, and gl1 footage in this video, who has 3 cameras, that are different models? NO-ONE
3 - the filmign itself was poor. this kid over exposed alot of footage, alot of it also looked like it was auto settings. he also doesnt know how to use the rule of thirds, he doesnt know how to zoom and pam properly, nor can he keep his hand steady.
4 - this song is so cliche, and didnt go what-so-ever.
i mean, to film skating perfect, isnt even hard, and this dude couldnt even do it semi-well. there were a few dudes out there, that were really good, that dao kids i liked sooooo much, the guy that made bos angeles. that loops kids’ was so sick, his night footage was pristine, and filming itself, was perfect. could imagine that footy in a transworld or blueprint production. they dont **** around when it comes to production values. i mean out of all the skate videos released now a days, so much of it is badly filmed, and i thought scuba would notice that, and pick a good one.
anyway, if dieter is reading this, i dont mean to slag you, but really, take my points on board, dump that vx2, and keep the vx1 rocking, and your footage will be as pristine as tws productions in no time. and yeh, lock ur arm when your filming lines, alot of them were shaky.
peaaaace
Good job Deet!
ATTENTION:
Here is the bottom line. No one cares what you think the contest should have been based on. You didn’t create the contest, eS and Active did. No where in the rules was there anything that said anything about the person who deserves the camera the most will win it. All of this bickering back and forth about who deserved it and who didn’t is completely irrelevant. I’m going to say this one more time, and never address the issue again.
THE CONTEST WAS FOR SCUBA STEVE TO PICK HIS FAVORITE VIDEO. PERIOD.
If you think you deserved to win because your camera got stolen, or your skating was better, or you had an idea that was never used before or whatever sob story you want to whine about, call Extreme Makeover Home Skate Edition.
they do a great job of turning people’s tragedies into triumphs.
That is all.
i saw the angry skateboarder wanted to see what como was so here’s a promo for it. old but there it is.
dunno if that worked but if it didn’t here’s the url to the video.
