A Multiplied Effect

On the board, under the board, on the sidelines, in the sky—you get a chance to be everywhere and big air with skateboarder and X Games Silver Medalist Adam Taylor. He's such a good dude, he even makes small talk with you mid-jump. Watch for the "timeslice" effect at 00:00:49; pre-GoPro, such a shot would have required as much as $100,000, along with a crane and hours of setup. Here, a single operator and an array of 48 GoPros capture a 3-D rotating view of a Taylor as he flies off the ramp—all for a few thousand dollars.

Oh Deer!

As all post-collegiate hipsters and farmer's-market-frequenting urban sophisticates from Portland to Park Slope know, biking in cities can be dangerous. The hazards are many; some of them commonplace (the car door recklessly flung open, the rogue and oblivious pedestrian darting into the sidewalk, potholes), others, well, less so. But at least there's no risk of getting blindsided by a sprinting red hartebeest antelope, which is exactly what happens to South African mountain biker Evan van der Spuy in one of GoPro's most widely viewed clips.
