[@storyseek1985]

Nothing else has every quite hit like this video. Well done GoPro, and everyone who contributed!

[@gtjack9]

What an incredible feat of advertising. The marketing team must have been so proud of this video when they finished it. Although, it must be a really easy job when the product really could sell itself, it was so unique and revolutionary at the time. It single handedly spawned the wearable imaging industry and made it accessible to the masses.

[@hypurban]

Who's watching in 2022? This is the best GoPro video made.

[@MatthiasEdling]

almost 8 years ago, still simply awesome. This shows that for a good video nearly all u need is the right music, editing skills and any potato camera. Ah and ofc, a big budget for action sports like these...

[@death_goose]

12 years old, when I saw this video, I saw a whole world. I can't put it into words. 12 years ago, when I was a child I did not even suspect the existence of all the beautiful things shown in this video. Skydiving, surfing, dirtbikes, skiing, snowboarding, how beautiful our planet is when you look outside of your habitat. And now 12 years later, I can say that I've done half of the activities shown there. This video didn't just show me the capabilities of the GoPro 2, it showed me a life, a world, a dream. Thank you very much. I will always be faithful to GoPro.

[@jtoth1995]

This video is 9 years old and it is still one of the most inspiring videos I know of. Simply a masterpiece.

[@kristian9107]

haven’t watched this video for about 9 years and it’s still amazing, damn the nostalgia hits so hard…

02.05.2024 ... This video brings back childhood memories. back when you thought that one day you would be just as cool.

I was 17-18 when this dropped🫠. Times and internet were so much better. So much things we now take for granted. These gopro montages would always leave you in chills.

11 years and I always come to look for this one to get motivation for xtreme crazy things!

Amazed by the ammount of people asking for the song. I thought everyone would either know it by now, as it's been in nearly every GoPro edit, or be able to check a description...

Un montage et une musique magnifique depuis que je connais cette vidéo elle me donne des frissons a chaque fois

Spotify recommended me today the Glitch Mob music and couldn't stop myself coming back to this video. THIS video was one of the reasons I started video editing and extreme sports. 10 years later, never a product video moved me that way. Thanks GoPro., you marked my teenage time forever.

[@hbaldinr]

Best GoPro video ever. just bought the Hero 10 and this is still my favorite video

[@bigbossdude0001]

anyone who owns a gopro knows its impossible to get nearly this good quality. I use premiere pro and nothing seems to look clear compared to this. Also if you watch any gopro video from someone who isn't a proffesional editor you would see how bad the helmet camera footage comes out for bmx and skateboard.

[@Hentuix]

aidan jolly on me it's all situational... Sometimes it looks good and sometimes really bad

[@jeroendekok6974]

You're doing something wrong then. It cost me 5 years after watching this vid to be able to take vids like this. It's all about your gopro settings, composition and time of the day to get that perfect colors. Get some good stabilizers and practice practice practice

[@jeroendekok6974]

So your colors are looking realistic and that's the most important thing. If you want to make your footage look warmer don't use color grading especially not when you capture snow. Yes, color grading can help you out but i think you noticed already if you are trying get colored jackets more saturated the snow loses it's white color. In good cinematography it's a rule, you want to keep it realistic! So you have to manually setup your camera in every situation you use it to get the most out of it. Auto settings are ok, but manual settings are a must if you want to improve the colors in your footage. If you want to get into it search for: manual settings for your gopro or something on YT. The main thing is your stabilisation and that was my main problem too. The footage on the stick looks pretty stable but the footage with the chest mount (what i think it is) isn't. That's because your jacket moves and that's normal. I really recommend the Feiyu WG2 Wearable, it's small, steady and compatible with most Gopro accessoires. Maybe you could add a storyline too, it doesnt have to be complicated but maybe just a timelapse as your opening shot. But i have to say it's way better than my first gopro footage. You did a good job, but even the best are getting better everyday!
