BW: Point well taken, in general I would agree. Helluvaskier did have a video of him skiing on groomed slopes at high speeds that was anything but boring.
his video was all 3rd person, there wasnt a single Point of View Shot in that video.
POV(point of view) video of groomers is really lame, its like POV of riding a road or bike path.
Actually I was referring to a video that Helluvaskier posted on the PMTS forum some time back. I found it interesting, and there wasn't a single POV view in that either.
I understand that your standard or expectation is POV shots -- but that is merely your expectation for a certain genre of skiing (and mtn biking).
I've watched video of Jean Claude-Killy skiing and immensely enjoyed his rhythm and smoothness, and there wasn't any POV components to that skiing either.
Actually, I've been watching the World Series on Fox and they don't have any POV shots either. That doesn't invalidate your statement about the popularity of POV shots in off-piste skiing and in mountain biking, BUT it also doesn't make that the only acceptable format for all uses.
greg video was great because it wasnt POV, if it was there is no wya even greg would watch it. Your basically backing my claims up, POV video of groomer skiing is the worst. Your argueing a point that you agree with since all the videos you mentioned are not POV.
THe OP got a POV camera, my first post was just saying. POV video of groomer skiing stinks, If your shooting third person than go for it.
I dare anyone to watch 10 minutes of this

I honestly think that this kid is messing with us at epic, noone is that lame.
BW: You are correct, I completely misunderstood what you were saying!
