Norwegian’s downhill mountain ski Go Pro video gets the 8-bit treatment

Ski's cool...

Ben Kenyon

What’s cooler than chucking yourself down a huge glacier on a pair of skis? Doing it 8-bit game-style, obviously…

Nikolai Schirmer camped and hiked Norway’s Isskard Glacier before filming himself tearing down the dangerous-looking slope on his Go Pro head camera.

Perhaps he wasn’t satisfied with his extreme video or maybe he was just a fan of the old school Alps Ski game.

So he added a few cool 8-bit graphics over the top of the video, threw in some speed boosters, an energy bar and even the groovy electronic game music – and bang. 8-bit video magic.

Well done that man…
