What's up with all the Video's from Jeff????

[TxHawk]

I dont watch all of them but I really like having the option to. If I had something personal against FF or was in direct competition I might see where some of you are coming from. But since I dont, I cannot imagine complaining about aerial video of what we love.

[SC288]

Keep the videos coming!

[Jeff Helmkamp]

I like the videos and the size of the photos...keep them coming Jeff!!!

James to me it seems like Jeff has the real neat old time photo's and video's from years back. Lets all enjoy. Maybe someday down the line you will have some video's to post. Is there some sort of jelosy here?

[Bgchuby01]

Yea I can not spell

[DAREDEVIL]

In the past you had to spend big $$$ to watch Jeff's Freeze Frame vids. I really appreciate him posting them up here for free!!!!

Thanks Jeff!

The opportunity is equally open to all of the recognized photographers. There's a difference between their product and like in your example Eddie Marine. This is their product. They're giving it away. When you see a photo in Powerboat from Jeff or Tim or Jay, Powerboat paid them for that. These guys put their product here for your enjoyment at no cost to us.

Nothing is free. None of these guys is doing this solely because they like renting helicopters to photograph boats. It costs big bucks. The tradeoff is like this- you get pictures to enjoy, they get exposure to potential customers, we get happy members.

Ok fair enough, however if Sharkey, Jay, Eaton, et al. promoted as much as FFV then this site would get a bit clogged right? Again what's fair is fair but I think the site might need some moderation at that point. Not sure I'd like to see a page where most of it was promotions from our photogs.

I dont see the problem,, the videos are hosted on youtube so they take
no space or resources away from SOS ..

I say keep em coming,love the old stuff!

[elvisali]

If there is a thread I am not interested in, i simply don't click on it. Why is this such an issue.

[PARADOX]

This is a thread I am not interested in. To be moved to that bar and barried.

BTW.. nice numbers Gino.

While I enjoy stills from all the photogs, I don't think anyone has a video library like Jeff . Keep em coming Jeff!

WOW. For a minute I thought I had inadvertently logged on to the wrong site.

[Coolerman]

I have nothing against watching snipets of videos FF Jeff! And if there is a thread I don't like, I don't look at it.

In that same respect, is Powerboat a better magazine at 66 pages instead of the 140 it used to be? It's no longer all clogged up with pics and articles.

And I look at the pages all the time- I don't know that I ever see more than one or two. And if there's that many, doesn't that mean people are looking and posting, keeping them up front?

I have met Jeff several times and he is a great guy. He has donated a lot of merchandise to Serious for us to give to not only members but the general public. I have personally handed out videos and tote bags at races that he has donated. What he does is of benefit and promotes the sport. I have shown many people who are not powerboaters his piks and videos. True sometimes when using the new posts function you get several of his posts at times, but it is not combersom. The only real downside I see is that posting in places other than his area of the media section, it would be more difficult for new members or old members to go to one place to find/see his videos and piks. Post on Jeff, post on!

[Chris]

Thanks- I neglected to mention...

Thanks to Jeff, virtually every prize package we send out contains a Freeze Frame DVD. All donated by Jeff. I have probably a couple hundred thank-you PM's from recipients.

And Jeff has never asked me for anything.
