GoPro: From The Eyes of Ted Ligety

[@GoPro]

Ted Ligety already won a bronze at the FIS Alpine World Cup Tour hosted by Vail Beaver Creek 2015 and in a few minutes he'll line up to defend his Sochi gold medal in Men's Giant Slalom. Good luck, Ted! Full edit here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpjSmI1siZamhrc

[@rejectedbeen2510]

What kind of mounts does he use to record his skiing ?

This is crazy! You don't realise with these athletes going in crazy speeds they are so close to death and injury just to get fastest time. Very impressive!

[@dieglhix]

+Tarik Abbas yes, this is way crazier than F1 racing.. ask schumy lol

[@LuffyL-ch1ku]

My speed record was 117 km/h on an empty piste and when i needed to break at that speed i couldn't walk for 2 weeks

[@staszewaM]

@@LuffyL-ch1ku I know it's an old comment but...what do you mean? You couldn't walk for 2 weeks due to falling and injuring yourself? Or fatiguing? I used to do fair amount of alpine ski racing from 2009 to 2011 and went over that speed many times, breaking didn't feel that bad even on longer, sturdier, heavier and more difficult to turn Super-G skis.

[@LuffyL-ch1ku]

@@staszewaM I had knee problems back then and when I tried to break a lot of shocks and weight fell on my knees. I could still walk but it was very troublesome anf had to do it with almost stretched knees.

[@thefreedommovement]

The only way to win is to keep your knees strait on the turns. If one ski edge catches a divit or some soft snow, that’s when you get those nasty crashes. So it’s a lot of luck in the run conditions too. That’s why I always tried to go first… before the run got torn up.

[@LucaG_1990]

I started skiing just 50 days ago, at 28 years old... I've always liked this sport, but I never had the occasion to learn it with someone else before... Now that I tried it, I can really say these athletes are completely crazy!

[@alecmiller5296]

Doing all that going 90 mph too

[@ColonelJ1]

greetings, I started this year at 29!

[@herrbrahms]

I could do without all the special effects and the goddamned sound design. It's awesome on its own without any need to sex it up.

[@Hankschrader2000]

herrbrahms exactly I just wonna watch these guys go down the mountain this is like a video game edit

[@barakbacharach9491]

I think it's to replicate the adrenaline rush and getting in "the zone" - when I'm locked in skiing downhill, it definitely feels like time slows and I'm one with my ski. I kinda like it

[@immortalhamster1645]

EXACTLY!!! Like I don’t mind the music as long as I can hear the skis, but I mean come on. It’s not a commercial.

[@staszewaM]

@@barakbacharach9491 While it might be part of the reason, I think they were trying to show the occurance of zoning out due to extreme fatigue, since the blood from your head is going to your bigger, hardest working muscle parts (mostly legs), which happens on longer downhills, especially in Wengen- you can hear Bode Miller talk about it in the material about Lauberhorn- 'Lauberhorn: The Essence of Downhill Ski Racing | ISOS012'.

[@lelandlee5008]

AWESOME THANK YOU...SEEING IT ON TV AND THIS WOW YOU GUYS ARE ROCKSTARS....

[@poly_hexamethyl]

2:20 It's amazing how difficult it is even to see where the next gate is with all the vibration! Those skiers are super-human for sure!

[@renaudgregoire1009]

Poly Hexamethyl It’s harder to see the next gate on the camera but in real life there is less vibrations and it’s easier to see

[@paravecchiavince9685]

The most underrated sport in the world. The physical toll put on the body is unreal, even without injury. It’s incredibly dangerous and difficult. You’re competing against yourself mentally, the mountain, and finally other skiers.

[@sral8242]

that motion blure made it look so awesome in the end

[@BriBriKelly]

Seriously enjoying watching the championships. Love that they are in my hometown.

[@lukehotty257]

Thanks for all the crazy runs king

[@krentetic8856]

Go pro's leaked new product. Crotch cam c;

I can think of one industry that would go nuts over that. pun intended.

[@DirtyyDom]

JBtheExplorer The squirrel industry.

[@aadarshsm]

I think they already have that

[@ronnyrafoo]

flagged for misleading title.

[@kreisplatz5154]

TOOL!!

[@bensadikin9513]

That blurred effect is ultra-dope.

[@bensadikin9513]

***** I mean starting at 2:30 when the background sound starts to fade away and environment starts to blur out.

[@bethmerryfield7186]

As I watched this, I listened to Tangerine Dream, Melrose. Nice sync.

[@tomlennart2422]

dude this video is so well done

[@bokeflo]

Gotta Love a Crazy Perspective! Gotta Love GoPro!!

[@WGBHMusic]

Such a well made video. Intense.

[@raccoonmoustache]

I never realized how fast it was

[@jscottfischer]

The sound effects are really why Im watching this video

[@blitzucan]

Is there a link to a continuous shin-cam shot of his run?

[@V.D.22]

breathtaking

1:50 Вид от первого яйца... Ой... лица.. Снято здорово...

[@brownjuanbrown118]

Looks like Copper Mountain Colorado. The skiing public skis on those runs, just much slower!!

so sick, dude straight bookin' it

[@skibub7904]

I've actually slipped a course on that exact hill at copper -- its their training track, and its STEEP like you wouldn't believe

[@unnew9448]

Is this a good beginner trail?

[@20Fabian12]

Wow! Great video :-)

[@joeharvey5556]

Sounds like a jet plane ... holy crap tv makes it look 40mph... they doing over 85mph insane insane insane ...after 20 yrs watching i bow more to these insane athletes..

[@GoPro0327]

Filmed at Copper Mountain in Colorado.

[@ryanward8117]

dear gopro please upload videos in 60 fps that would be awsome

[@sonny6280]

wow!!! that was wonderful good job God bless you.

[@celticpridedrums]

absolutely frightening!

[@Johnny13utt]

was this copper mountain?

[@XxReeses]

how fast is he going?

[@ricardoramirez9306]

That shit is crazy how fast is he going

[@hunterjumper5892]

Stupid question? I race super g/dh but is that "blurry" a GoPro created effect after 2:30 or is that what Super Ted is seeing for real? I've never seen that but of course I am not Super Ted and he's likely in a dimension I haven't met if that is what he's seeing at 80mph plus. I would not doubt it b/c he and others on FIS DH/Super G level are not human. Loved this vid. Right on!

[@keirfarnum6811]

I so miss doing this stuff. Sigh.

[@idraga666]

Это нечто! Красиво снято!

Man I wish he had done this video on a GS run...

[@floriansievi1710]

Does someone know how does he mounted the GoPro on his leg?

can you tell me what is first song? i can found this in youtube pls

[@ArinGokdemir]

Was that copper mountain

[@peytonandrew3944]

This was filmed at copper

[@megaaacookie7414]

wich Copter do you use for the air filming? i think its the DJI Phantom 2 with Zenmuse 2D-3D Gimbal? :)

[@blackmennewstyle]

I think you are totally right :)

[@RSTI191]

Geeziz that's crazy fast. I'm watching here on video and I'm poopin' my pants..

[@JJ-9421]

Still no 60fps videos? :|

[@amankahsai4789]

I now have more respect for this sport

[@dieglhix]

The only sport more dangerous than F1 Racing... Ask Schumy

[@dieglhix]

Kasmin1 Gd &n more Yes but I don't think it's even more dangerous than this

[@jeffcollyer1079]

Diego V what about tt racing, more dangerous than both of them put together

[@jakeb92980]

why the blur?

[@andreabudzey3991]

You are so cool

[@raynic1173]

Me thinks the "lower" camera was sponsored by Doc Johnson, lol.

Holes in the snow? Why?

AWSOME.................

Awesome

Insane

[@thai-lermuttavangkul3235]

Was the whoosh wen passing flags added

[@LuffyL-ch1ku]

My top speed was 117 km/h and i have a knee problem thing, when i had to break at that speed i couldn't walk for 2 weeks but i was so damn happy about my speed i didn't care lol the ski piste was empty and it was like 5 km long but i did it in like 6 mins and when i looked at my speed app it said 117 km/h imagine going at equal speed as a car on the highroad but without an aluminum cage around you

[@statusREfresh]

Well if you were here for actual skiing, it starts at 1:30

[@tobiasrungg406]

Marcel hirscher is THE BEST SKIER IN THE WORLD

Sgouldnt t his video have like 10 milion instead of 700k

[@livemusicvancouver]

Unnecessary blurring effect. Ted's already going warp speed.

[@nabilizzat2048]

how many km/h does he go?

[@steventurner1628]

64-96 km/h for downhill racers and if you go Olympics they race at 120-153 km/h.

[@nabilizzat2048]

thanks

[@TheCameltotem]

Not sure what steven meant but downhill is around 120-140 km/h.

[@dieglhix]

+TheCameltotem he meant mph

[@mraryan8015]

lol i thought i was hearing my own heartbeat at the end

[@scottbiggs8894]

Too many edits, special effects, and the go-pro camera angles were almost worthless. Too bad, as it's a super-cool concept and Ligety is awesome.

[@how2scuba]

awesome awesome awesOME

[@Cadonious]

Holy shit that’s fast 😮

[@ClaudiuB]

Actually the video starts at 1:36

[@krellin]

aaaaaaaaand speed of light :D

[@sFomix]

какие скорости они развивают?

[@MrClearme]

До 120 км/ч

[@Wheelly1]

sFomix до 140 км/ч, в Сочи было больше 130

That’s good but i would have preferred the camera not change every second

[@adonistopofmen2571]

Cool ...

[@LinkTheCoward]

More like "From the Crotch of Ted Ligety"... Jokes aside, cool video!!

[@gela92]

Why you didin't record ted in a giant slalom? I mean he is god in GS not even top 10 in downhill and super-g...

[@michaelgundi]

god no longer last season he was unbeatable - there's a new GS god this season around

nice

There is way too much film cutting, and there is way too much screwing around before the skiing starts.

[@aranwilcox-ward2485]

Cool

[@XzctR]

So much pathos

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

From the eyes - should've been wearing some Pivothead glasses, or such.

[@TheSteriac]

Title: Ligety*

[@duleantic6251]

Opako!

[@minecrafthowtodude]

how fast does he go? lol

[@steventurner1628]

120-145 kmh for this run is what i would estimate.

[@thhhx]

The sound effects going past the gates was super cheesy.

[@mpf2006]

Wow

[@RodryFromItaly]

Next time you can put cameras on the snow too during the descent Check out my GoPro channel too ;)

[@松浦毅-u6f]

Don’t do unnecessary thing. I want to see a footage taken from the skier’s head from start to finish. This is the silliest clip I’ve ever seen.

[@krellin]

Dont they ever fall while doing this? i dont think one can survive if that happens

[@bebepreppie]

Vachagan Balayan Yeah they do fall, fortunately most of them survive

[@goreddragon1]

Why does he need that many sets of skis? (@ 2:42)

[@goreddragon1]

Duh, he's a ski racer, but why do you need 8 pairs of the exact same skis? I can understand having 3 pairs or something as back ups/practice sets, but bringing as many skis as he has with him everywhere has to be a pain in the ass.

[@mochannel25]

Grant Hilti I guess he has different skis for different disciplines and different conditions.

[@TrendyDem]

Grant Hilti He's professional. He should fight for every second and millisecond during the race. Different models of skis are good for certain types of tracks. Also waxing (You saw the men doing this in the video with special iron) the skis is extremely important because each wax should be applied for certain condition of snow and weather, so he might have different types of wax on different skis to test and choose the best for the next competition.

[@OrangeNerd1]

Like thenguy above said for waxing, but also each one probably has a different angled edge, so depending whether its icy, or powdery, he'll choose which pair he wants.

[@buster072]

That's just Product placement of HEAD. You only need one pair of great skis per discipline in my opinion.

[@tinklanjscek2700]

All cut, processed etc... I guess the raw GoPRO footage was crap so they had to spice it up. Wish I could see the actual run without gimmicks...
