Media and SlalomSkateboarder.com

Hey Everybody
So I was brainstorming and I thinking about our homepage www.slalomskateboarder.com.
I believe that the ISSA should designate or have the Contest organizer designate an 'official videographer' to be at every prime status race and above. We don't want a half hour of footage of everyone's run. We want raw video that is about 5 minutes or less including the Men Pro round of 4 and the women's finals uploaded onto the website the day of the race.
How to do this?
We need a new template for slalomskateboarder.com. One that is easily updated with embedded video.
We need upload space for the designated videographer to send the raw footage.
We need someone to be able to download the video and edit it and update the template on Slalomskateboarder.com. We should use Vimeo or Youtube as the player.
Slalom skateboarding exists today because of the internet and the ability of people to find us here and for the first WLAC races and the Farm to organize back in 2001. The internet today is now full of media and we should too. People need to see slalom to understand it. We too can go viral and spread the stoke.
I can volunteer to do some of this. Is anyone else interesting in making this a priority for 2010?
