Idk, I'd rather see a straight up selfie than those shots. I can't watch them. I think they all look terrible.

Idk if this ones unpopular. They look like garbage, no matter what view they use. The first person looks so odd. It's like weirdly pinched if that makes sense?

Honestly GoPros are cool and all but the 360 view in my opinion is very stupid and annoying it takes away the point of actually watching what there doing it just side tracks you of what they are actually trying to do

I get the concept and why people want to use it, but it makes even sick riding pretty much unwatchable for me. The motion ends up warped and not smooth looking. Idk.

Agreed. But it's not as bad as the footage of people with selfie sticks pointed at themselves during the entire run. I'm fine with you sprinkling that shot in for a quick second to use an alternate angle, but why would I want to look at somebody going down the mountain with the camera pointing uphill at them?

I love POV footage when it's facing down the mountain (especially now that the stabilizers have gotten good). Not at some dumb goggled-mother-fucker going "wooooo!!!"

360 videos are prominent in rollerblading, I assume because there are so few rollerbladers that it's the only way to film yourself other than by setting up a camera on a tripod and having it sit there. I hate it.

I think they look cool in an edit for like 2 seconds, but then yeah they’re just a headache to look at.

One thing I like about 360 cameras is that it makes it so my retarded friends that can't film miss shots way less often
