Hi-Tech Cameras Capture Extreme Slip 'N Slide

The extreme sport you never knew you needed is now in gorgeous digital 4K.

The slip 'n slide: one of the world’s most underappreciated forms of recreation. Here, speed, agility, and fearlessness all combine, as popular YouTuber DevonSuperTramp documents a group of extreme slip 'n' sliders in gorgeous digital 4K detail.

Outfitted with an impressive repertoire of camera tech, from stabilizers to super powerful 4K-capable digital cameras, Devon Graham's crew can shoot in 1000 frames per second, the secret behind their wonderfully crisp slow-motion shots. Effective enough to enable the camera operators to run alongside the sliders (without bumps or shakiness), the steadicam-style stabilizers make possible the drone-worthy tracking footage that opens the video. Here, the team also employs POV cameras, allowing viewers the feeling of their Lake Powell plunges.
