ASTERISK
Asterisk showcases the performances of nine distinct wakeskaters. The participants in Asterisk came together from various company "teams" to perform in front of the cameras. This film distinguishes itself from earlier productions by highlighting a diverse array of wakeskaters from different brands.
During the filming process, numerous riders achieved new tricks for the first time in their careers, marking significant milestones in the brief history of wakeskating. This infectious energy inevitably fosters high spirits and an enjoyable atmosphere. The highlight is that Album Films was present, capturing every moment with their cameras constantly rolling.

The main idea behind Asterisk was to gather a selection of professional wakeskaters and take them to a secluded spot for a week of filming. By providing the riders with ample materials to construct rails, gaps, and pools, the goal was to let the action unfold on camera. Justin Stephens of Album Films conceived this vision and brought it to life. The aim was to encourage progression while the lenses captured the excitement. Although this concept is quite brilliant, a week may not suffice to gather enough footage for a full-length video.
As most of the riding in Asterisk occurs behind personal watercraft, a significant portion of the footage was filmed from the shoreline. Additionally, there are chase scenes from other PWC's, aerial shots from helicopters, and content shot with a boom, allowing the crew to achieve close-ups and overhead perspectives. The shoreline views create an immersive experience, making it feel like you are alongside everyone as a rider takes to the water. The video was created using a mixture of digital video and 16mm film.
All in all, Asterisk is an excellent film that you will definitely want in your collection. The concept of the video embodies the essence of the sport for many of us, and even without the impressive tricks it features, it would still achieve success. The cheers from fellow riders each time someone lands a great trick truly immerse you in the experience. All riders can resonate with that lively atmosphere and enthusiasm. Furthermore, having another "all wakeskate" video available is fantastic for the sport, as it broadens understanding of what wakeskating entails and demonstrates its growth and potential for the future. 27 minutes

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
