THE SLOPES — Ever since adrenaline enthusiasts and nature lovers started strapping on cameras like GoPros and Action Cams, the Internet's video experience has changed drastically.
You can experience bears up close and personal, you can see what a BMXer sees when he or she rips some sick stunt and you can even play hide-and-go-seek with a toddler.
But in this video, professional Swiss skier Nicolas Vuignier's shirks all such nonsense and shows off his new action-shot technique — swinging his iPhone over his head for stunning 360-degree views as he hurtles downhill in uncut powder, maneuvers rail slides and otherwise shows off his athletic and coordination skills.
Vuignier calls it "Centriphone," and it took him two years to perfect the technique, according to the video description. The whole thing is shot on his iPhone 6, a phone that he says he still uses every day.
It's a mesmerizing and incredible watch. Let's just say at some point in my viewing I said out loud in a room by myself, "Are you kidding me? Come on!" It really is that spectacular.
