GoPro HD Summer Video

By Abe Kislevitz | Published: November 19, 2009

At the end of last year, GoPro came to us with a bit of news. First off, they said our videos were exactly the type of thing they wanted to show off what anyone can do with their little cameras; and second, that they were coming out with epic new HD cameras at the end of 2009 that would blow us away.

They asked the USC Ski & Snowboard team to aid them in creating an HD Promo video of skiing that they could use at trade shows, in press-releases etc. Where can we ski during the summer? Oregon! We met up at Timberline in July, grabbed some lift tickets courtesy of GoPro and went to town with the new cameras.

We had X-Games pipe skier Tucker Perkins to help us out with some tricks, along with Chris Farro, who lives a quick skip away from the mountain during the summer. I had just returned from a week trip up in Whistler at Camp of Champions for 4frnt Team week and had unfortunately suffered a pretty severe heel injury up there. I could ski down the hill but there were to be no epic jump follows. Either way, in a few short hours we got these shots and were absolutely blown away by the quality.

Fast forward to now and GoPro is filling orders and shipping these things like mad – demand is on an insane level. We’re stoked to be working with GoPro and appreciate all that they’ve done with us so far!

Stay tuned folks and thanks for your continued support! Check out the GoPro camera here or with the sponsor link on the right side.

    [..YouTube..] Mount is actually the angle extension mounts put straight and duct taped to the end of the ski pole. Handle bar mount would work great as well I’m sure.

    [..YouTube..] cmon guys, where did ya cheat? I’m comparing this video to tons of other gopro HD vids on youtube and yours is the only one which looks like shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 in full-HD. The other one look slightly better than mine, which are recorded with the old go pro hero wide. I really love your cameras but I want to know how did ya do that? how important was final cut pro in order to get that quality? :)
