\" shralp.com<\/a> is a one year old snowboarding video blog (vlog) site. Shralp<\/em> releases a new video every Sunday. You can view the videos in your browser on the Shalp! PC site. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the videos. These are not your typical YouTube<\/em> amateur videos. Production values are high and the images visually exciting.<\/p>\n

Shralp seems to “get” the potential of mobile video too. Right from the beginning, Shralp! has had a companion mobile web site and has offered mobile formatted videos for download on their main site. The mobile formats are .mp4 averaging 9 to 14 MB and 176×144 .3gp running from 2 to 3 MB. There are also higher quality formats for iPod, Zune and other media players.<\/p>\n

Shralp’s mobile site at shralp.com\/mobile<\/a> offers all 41 of the .3gp formatted Shralp vodcasts. Two or three megabytes is a large file for .3gp. Be sure to head the warning on Shralp’s mobile site,<\/p>\n

“Attention! If you don’t have a flat rate – downloading might be expensive!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sideloading is a good alternative if your are on a metered plan or you have a carrier like Verizon that blocks it customers from streaming or downloading off-portal videos.<\/p>\n

Shralp Mobile is on the Sports page at the Yeswap.com<\/a> mobile portal.<\/p>\n
