What’s the weirdest or most interesting thing you’ve had to do to get a good shot?

It’s probably not to unique or anything it just always feels strange laying underneath rails and having someone go over you

Taping my phone to my shoe.

I drove up to Park City to shoot the park back when I was working on my Random Heroes blog and they had some kind of big event in town. It took me 30 min to find a parking spot basically cramming my car next to a dumpster. I then had to walk through a bunch of neighborhoods just to get to the base of the hill then throw on my YakTrax to hike the park to get some shots.

Lol back in the day before Gopros the helmet cams were not standalone but hooked to a normal camcorder. So you basically had to get everything set up at the lodge and throw the camcorder in the backpack for whoever had on the helmet cam. At the top you had to unzip the backpack, take off your gloves, try not to get snow all over the camcorder which is now at 10% battery from the cold, double check the live view to make sure the helmet cam was activated, hit record, zip the backpack back up as fast as you could then tap your buddy on the head to let him know to shred. Then you had to follow him down the hill and repeat the process to stop the recording.

I've climbed trees, sat on top of moving cars, downloaded on the chairlift, hung off the edge of tall buildings (lying flat on belly)

Climbed a very active railroad bridge that had nothing but the railway tracks and the wooden blocks with nothing under it, not even a maintenance walk or a border bottom. Imagine a ladder as a bridge and that’s what I was working with. Plus a good 25 foot drop under it to a busy Main Street in my town. Shot on a windy day too during high noon.

Using my sunglasses as a phone stand for when I want hike shots.

Taped a hero 3 to my helmet becuase I didn’t have a mount.

I had been trying to do back 3 swap for my first ever time all day on a small down flat down shotgun rail and after so many tries no one was filming or willing to film me anymore so I got my shoe and set my phone inside it and filmed the rail until I got it. Video was like 40 minutes long
