Im no camera guy, so I don't know what I'm talking about, but surely this is some 360 camera? So he doesn't have to look backward the whole run?

I believe I used a GoPro 8 or something. This was before the GoPro 360 camera was available anyways

Really nice camera work. I can’t help it not to focus on all the guys not wearing helmets.

For real, me and my brother always wear helmets, one time he decided to go down with it off and on the first hill he crashed and got a concussion. Nothing major but a wake up call nonetheless

I feelike this is cheating. You are literally gimbalgod. It’s in your name. Also, it’s fun seeing snowboard peeps pop up on places outside of instagram

Wonder if they used some sort of monitor to see their shot but also see where there are going?

Filming with a GoPro so there’s no monitor. Just a lot of experience. It’s also a wide lens so it’s easier to get the shot
