LONGBOARDING FREERIDE, an HD Extreme Sports video.

I have a secret. I enjoy watching Extreme Sports HD videos. This one is from  has breathtaking scenery. On a large screen, it might lure you into believing that you are the longboarder, gliding around the hills and curves!

About longboarding, from the Original Skateboards website:

"Put a longboarder at the top of that same hill with a longboard designed to handle it and he will get to heaven first, every time, no death required.  A longboard is a stress relief, a mode of transportaton, and a sorce of surf, snowboard inspiration.  Anyone can learn, it is safe, there are no age barriers and no one is going to charge you for a lift to the top."

Riders in the video were Petter Reinem, Axel Serrat, Brett Ciabattini, Will Stephan, Aleix Gallimo, Daniel Harris, Brian Bishop, Michael Virgin Jr. , Molly Lewis, and Scott Imbrie. Filmers were Nick Patrick, Brad Imbrie, Jay Cagney, Aleix Gallimo, Axel Serrat Dunia Vidal, and Sam Weaver. The video was edited by Nick Patrick.

GoPro Wearable (extreme) Sports Camera: I Want One! (video)

I'd love to have a GoPro wearable HD camera for creating immersive multimedia content. The only problem is that I'd have to take up extreme sports as a hobby if I wanted to do my own videography. 


Take a look at the promo video from the GoPro website - best viewed in full-screen:


I see great possibilities for interactive, "touchable" multimedia content using video captured in this manner!
