Time flies when you are having fun – Check it out on our You Tube Channel

 

In 1998 Nerve Events (Pat and Paul) started a journey which has taken many paths over the last 16 years. One of the benefits of our business has been all the amazing competitions we have been given the opportunity to create and work on for many clients, and with those events came a lot of media and opportunities to film the occasion.

In those “early days” the TV production houses supplied us with copies of the events on Beta-Cam and then VHS…. Interesting times which sometimes meant the tape got snagged in the VCR and lost… , you know the story , then along came DVD and this opened new doors to share and view the shows, then came social media. This plus the fact that we know enjoy ADSL lines has just made life an absolute party with respect to sharing and letting all those that participate in the events enjoy the event after the fact …. For eternity….

Over the last month we have been taking great opportunity of this technology and created a YOU TUBE channel for Nerve Events , of which I have loaded as much event footage (there are still loads of events that I do not have the tapes) as I can for the purpose of History and Nostalgia , we want to share the events with the thousands who have been a part of the ride in one way or the other. To this end you as the viewer can share with your friends and families, many of the “surfers”(kiters/SUPers/Longboarders/Pro Surfers/) filmed are now fathers and mothers of kids who are already starting their own surfing careers. Some of the competitors are grand-parents, so this is a gift for you all to share and enjoy, to laugh and sometimes even bury your head in embarrassment, thrills and spills captured for eternity but it is all damn good 

My next project is to work on the VHS and Beta Tapes, to convert them and upload to the channel, I have also come across other videos of a historic nature that were captured on VHS on SATV like more of the Gunston 500, SA Longboard champs and others and will endeavour to upload them as well.
