I wish I was half as good as the worst of these guys.

What I want to know is how did they film it.

That is so damn cool. I wish I was 1/4 as good as the the worst one.

Studchild, thinking they used CAMERAS to film this event. (just giving you some crap)

I asked how, not with what did they film this with.

The extra features on ROAM showed a cameraman sliding down a cable as he filmed the riders. The cameraman was in a harness with a pulley on the cable - like a zip line. I suspect they used zip line shots in the Kranked video.

Piton Productions, a local company, takes shots like that with a remote control helicopter. Here's a video featuring mini-heli shots of riders at I Street:

it's a zip line that can pull the camera up to 80 mph. the last xgames used one durning the rally car event..


Seasons is still #1 in my book with Redbull Rampage the evolution in a close second. it was fun to see it in person but much better on the dvd...
