360VR Kitzbuhel Downhill Run at Full Speed

[@DavidBaker_WindfieldMedia]

Yes the speed is not exact for this course. I designed this video to give the viewer the "Feeling from the skier's perspective" of going 160kph, which is the record for speed in a World Cup downhill ski race set by Johan Clarey of France. His speed was actually clocked at 160.9kph. We couldn't find the average speed on Kitz every inch of the way down so we produced a speedometer for example only. I produced another video on skiing fast with our Canadian National Ski Team. You can find the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXW4fniwm56Xe5o I hope you all enjoy the experience. Even better when viewed with a VR headset.

Someone finally read the comment section and figured out how to do a skiing video. No music, no cuts, just show the complete run.

[@DavidBaker_WindfieldMedia]

Thanks for your comment. I produced this video to demonstrate THE FUTURE of how media will cover downhill skiing, LIVE TO YOUR CELLPHONE! The speed as indicated is not the actual speed for this run. We couldn’t find that exact data when we made this video so we represented what it would be like if you were setting the world speed record for a World Cup race. A speedometer was added along with biometric feedback and leader boards in the sky to showcase how, in the future, data will be presented and streamed LIVE FROM THE SKIER STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE, VR headsets or other screens. The names on the leaderboards are fictitious, as is the data. BE SURE TO LOOK AROUND! THIS IS A 360 VIDEO. FYI A speed of 100 miles per hour (161 km/h) was first achieved by Johan Clarey at the 2013 Lauberhorn World Cup, beating the previous record of 98 mph (158 km/h), set by Italian Stefan Thanei in 2005. If you want another great race in VR check out the other one's I produced - horse race, REBELLION’S DREAM 360 at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKTp5ecj9eLmM0 . I think horse racing VR is way better than on TV and even better than when you go to the track. Most people just watch the TVs at the track anyway. This you can watch on your phone... coming live in the near future. Just waiting for 5G to catch up. Check out the Ski Cross in VR360 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnWTaKB9pMyeqLc.

I only skied it this year. It was a bad year for snow, lots of icy patches. But seeing it live, the risks and the lines they take is unbelievable. Normally go to Austria every year ( I’m Irish) but will definitely go back for the race. Although to stay there is extremely expensive I found

[@daleunroe6074]

just realized that you can 360 pivot the POV ...and watched it with the camera facing backwards ...this is a very cool and useful ski experience technology - it really gives you a lot more insight when you are actually along for the ride of the skier and can even see more that the skier! - kudos to the skier for making that look doable to mere mortals

Yep, I've clocked myself at 91kph and that was on a wide open slope only making 2-3 turns not a narrow course with hills and jumps you can't see over. Your heart rate definitely increases even if it doesn't 'feel' extremely fast while you are doing it, the intensity of focus is high and going 2x as fast is hard to imagine. I think I've gone over 100 kph by what it felt like but never measured myself at that speed.

As a fellow who has spent waaay more time on X-C skis than even bunny hills, this was great fun to watch.

[@mggailitis7231]

And that's absolutely crazy. TV coverage would benefit by placing more cameras where the viewer can get a sense of what you're talking about. Ratings would definitely increase. p.s. Can someone here explain the yellow flags that dot the course? They seem like obstacles.

Woah, what a great view - and yet so totally misleading. I know the Streif from real (whole length) and I am VERY sure I wouldn't even get to the Mausefalle alive in downhill mode but would disintegrate into the RB banner not making that first lefthander. Through the camera though it looks as if there is no problem. Mausefalle (0:09), 35 meter jump, piece of cake - Karussell/U-Turn (0:17), eeeeeasy - Steilhang (0:24), like a family slope - Brueckenschuss (0:33) - Gschoess (0:43) - Alte Schneise (0:56) all with closed eyes - Seidlalm (1:08), another 35 meter jump, waving to the boys 'n Girls sitting there - Laerchenschuss (1:18), time for admiring the landscape - Oberhausberg (1:36), short before falling asleep - Hausberg/Hausbergkante (1:42), once more 35 meter of flying just for fun - Traverse (1:50) - Zielhang (1:56), yes well - Zielsprung (2:03), ok this 70 meter (yesterday's run) jump was worth doing it. That is so mindboggingly crazy - everybody who survives this stunt is an absolute hero.

Man I'd love the chance to ski that exact run as fast as I can with a proper aerodynamic suit. Not to try and win a race; just as a personal challenge. Same reason I've rappelled off cliffs, jumped out of planes, scuba'd, etc. I know what breaking 130kph feels like because I've done that at radared events. But, those speeds have been on recreational shaped skis and wearing baggy powder shells and pants. In fact, by coincidence, I was just radared at 117 kph (73MPH) last week just messing around with buddies. We wanted to make sure we can all still ski faster than our age--I'll be 65 this weekend. After seeing this, I'm convinced I could keep it together on that course at close to 150. I really hope I can somehow make that happen before I get old... :-D

What’s the maximum degree of slope on that course? It didn’t seem all that steep but I’m sure some of that was just the perspective from the camera. When the pros race at North American resorts, are the downhill courses typically blue runs? They seem a bit long to be a black diamond run at any resort I’ve skied. I’d love to ski one of those pro downhill runs just to compare how much slower a decent amateur would be skiing it as a normal run versus a pro racing on it. Of course I wouldn’t be in any sort of aero race suit or stance, I wouldn’t be getting airborne, and the race wax applied to a single race ski would probably cost more than all the bars of wax in my tuning kit combined.
