Looking for the clip of Byerly using a Ski Nautique in a shallow swamp

[Erik]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a clip that was online for awhile of Scott Byerly wakeskating in, what I think was a very very shallow swamp. The twist is that they weren't using a winch, they were using a Ski Nautique. A real Ski Nautique.

I've never seen a ski boat used this way - I believe it was a fairly new Ski Nautique for the time, I believe it didn't have a windshield, and I believe Brandon Thomas was featured in the clip too. I had the impression that Nautique must have given the boat to Byerly to use almost as one would use a winch. It was quite awhile ago but it was a very memorable clip. I thought, and still think, it was extremely cool and if winches didn't get adopted I bet it would have been done more, believe it or not. Does anyone remember that clip? And if so, do you remember where it was uploaded? YouTube? AllianceWake? Transworld? I was a working journalist in the sport at the time and I remember writing stuff about it but my stories are all gone off the internet by now.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thank you,
Erik

Even if it's difficult to find - does anyone else at least remember it?

The only thing that comes close to mind is of him boarding behind an outboard with virtually no wake.

This is going to sound almost eerie - but know what? That's my video. I took that footage at a clinic Byerly did in my neck of the woods and it's me making all the foul, monotone comments.
It lives on my YouTube channel (or - one of them). This is my most famous moment .

Others have said it but I can personally confirm that Scott Byerly was incredibly nice in person, helpful to all of us us, incredibly helpful and wise to me while I was early in learning inverts and competing at the time. He was humble and cool to me and my friends and an easy person to talk to despite who he was (and he was who he is now, to us, even then). His riding somewhat shaped our realities as to what was and what was not possible on a wakeboard. So I've always been a fan and am lucky to have gotten to meet him. And I got to have lunch with him too that day (well, me and the rest of his students at the clinic). I'm just so glad I taped that whole thing.
