Sometime last summer, I found a video of another ski team using a GoPro water proof HD video camera attached directly to the forehead one of the skiers. As a photographer, I simply had to have some of these to supplement my photos of the Mad-City Water Ski Team and the Beaverland Must-Skis Water Ski Team. We are now ready to show you what the skiers see! Seen here is the skiers perspective: On skis, on shoulders and right behind the boat.

Now many of you have seen the show and my photos taken from the shoreline, but very few of you have seen the show the way the skiers see the show… and that is from on the water.

For those that don’t know, Mad-City’s ski site is right in the heart of Madison on the isthmus. We ski our practices and shows at Law Park next to the Monona Terrace on Lake Monona, so some of the footage in the videos of downtown Madison from the water are pretty impressive. There is sound, so crank it up and enjoy!
