What if Youtube trick tips were actually helpful?
I created this series with West Rock Wake Park as a way to populate the vacuum of cable park-spesefic wakeboarding trick tips on Youtube that are in English.
I asked myself the question- What's possible with explainer-style motion graphics in the action sports trick tip space?
The short answer: more than I thought.
A regular at the park who has a severe form of autism could never complete a lap on the full-size video. After watching my video, he completed countless laps.
A handful of tricks we featured were tricks I was unable to do before working on this series. After making the videos for those tricks, I was able to figure them out within days.
