Skiing is hard enough as it is, but the Sickos crew wanted to see if they could make it even harder. They’ve done a lot in the past to do that, including skiing on enormous, 11-foot-long skis, but this new style of skiing seems to take it to the next level. Using FPV goggles, a camera, and a pretty impressive rig, they managed to set up a real-life 3rd person skiing experience.
For those who aren’t aware, the idea of a 3rd person view (beyond the storytelling third-person) comes from video games in which the player views the player-character from a behind and slightly above perspective. It works great for a lot of video games, but it’s pretty easy to tell that it isn’t the smoothest technique for skiing.
