I love a good crash reel as much as the next guy. But there’s something much more brutal and honest about this GoPro crash footage. You know it’s coming while you’re watching the video, but it still creeps up on you. Brutal. But also filmed for our enjoyment. And we can all pat ourselves on the back knowing that both men walked away with a couple scrapes, twisted joints and a lot of hurt, but no permanent damage.
Thanks David
Now that everyone skis with cameras mounted to the top for their heads ski resorts are getting a lot more eyeballs on YouTube. A marketer pulled together the total views and ranked resorts by how often they’re seen on YouTube. I have no idea where he came up with the numbers. Based on his calculations, it looks like people of Jackson Hole have a much deeper love of watching playback of their day skiing than anyone else. The Canyons comes in at #3, which is logical since the place is always packed with teens. And somehow Sunday River in Maine is second? Must be guys filming their golf outings there during the summer.

What, you only have one GoPro camera? It seems that mounting a pair of them in a special housing on top of your ski helmet like deer antlers could get you shooting in 3D. GoPro, the company that actually brought helmet cams to the masses (but didn’t necessarily make them cool) is selling a special setup that lets you capture 3D.
The system uses old school 3D technology, just simple glasses with red-and-blue lenses, not the high-tech system your friend’s rich dad has in his basement that relies on battery-powered glasses. The system to link two of the cameras will sell for about $100, plus $259 per camera, but I know the video of me falling down the stairs will look spectacular in 3D.
