Questions you're asked when wearing a go pro

skibeest · 2011-12-29 23:46:18

If you own a go pro, you most likely get asked ridiculous questions and get a lot of awkward glances and stares. For instance, I think I've been asked "Am I on tv" about 4 times now. What sorts of questions or comments have you gotten about your go pro (or contour)

Every fourth gordon has one. I feel like people just ask dumb questions they already know the answer to just to start conversation. "So, those skis are tipped up on the beck eh? is that to go backwards?

next time tell them its an artificial serebelum or something

There is so many kids at my mountain that owns them, I don't get the point of filming your east coast icy run in pov when there is one rail and a jump in the preseason run. Has it become cool to have a camera stick on your helmet ? I personally think that these kids look like teletubbies with that on their heads. And I don't get why poeple are folding their pants over their boots to show their brand new full tilts, why the fuck seriously.

one time the fat jamacian lifty was like "eh man stop filmin me why ya filmin me"

what blows my mind is how my friends can't figure out how a gopro works to save their fucking lives. i dont have many actual filmer friends so if i want shots of myself i have to get my retard friends to do it. is it that hard to push a button and aim? half the time they think the camera is on when it's not and viceversa or they're aiming the camera way above my torso. shit's annoying.

Best thing to do to little Gapers who are wearing them is as you ride the chair lift and they ski under you yell out "Hey!, your Gopro fel off".

or

"Bro, you dropped your wallet"

Many people I've seen check their pockets or their Helmet and don't look where they're going and crash.

Haha in the park today this little kid with a gopro was going by. This snowboarder that seemed to be pretty awesome goes "hey dude your gopro's on" to the little kid. So he pushes the button, but it wasn't on in the first place. now the kid probably has a video that's several hours long.
