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)
 
hot chick on bus: what is that a camera?

me: why, yes it is?

hot chick on bus: do you get any good footage?

me: I am now.

i didnt notice that her father was 5 feet away...................................awkward
 
2 years ago at vail I was like getting interrogated by some gapers on the lift. it was on the northwoods express. they thought it was like so awesome. but then again back then go pro's werent own'd by every 10 year old kid that rides through the terrain park.
 
i got one when i just had the mount on:" Dude! you lost it back there on the run" I say: i left it at home.. Awk
 
i get lots of "what is that thing" some "how do you like that" and 2 times ive gotten the good old "will you film me"
 
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
 
i got one, when i was filming the landing of a flight. the air hostess was walking by and her and the other air hostess looked at me and said "urgh what is that thing" like it was some kind of small animal.... then followed by the usual conservation like people have never seen a camera before...
 
i was just trying mine out, this one guy who was straight airing off a jump was screaming fuck you every time because i wasnt filming him
 
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.
 
Relevant story: Yesterday I saw a kid who had to be 4 years old wearing a go pro on his helmet while his mom had one of those leash things on him while skiing down the bunny hill.
 
"Yo is that gonna be on youtube"

I dont really get many questions about it most of the time its just random people yelling "GOPRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
hot girl in the gondola: "does that thing shoot film?"

me: "yeah"

hot girl: "thats hot"

me: "you are, its recording"

hot girl: [silent.....]

 
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.
 
Once convinced a little kid that it was a laser sight to keep me skiing straight, he followed me down the run looking for the red dot.
 
Old Guy: What is that?

Me: a gopro, its a small HD camera

Old Guy: How does it work?

Me: press the top button to record and ski. Its a cool invention!

Old Guy: How do you know its recoding?

Me: See the red blinking dot, it tells me its filming

Old Guy: And can you watch the replay?

Me: You need a computer to download the video

Old Guy: how much is it?

Me 350$

Old Guy: what a rip off!

Gaper: What is that thing on your head

Me: a gopro

Gaper: U ARE A PRO? HOLY FUCKING SHIT I MET A PRO...can I have your autograph?

Me: yes...yes I am
 
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.
 
"i got asked today, you know theres a box on your head"me:"yea thats where i keep my survival kit"

gaper:"no way...."

gotta love Christmas week at breck
