My mother used to do downhill a slalom (not competitively) and to this day I still can’t believe it. Yes, she’s had both her knees replaced, if you’re wondering.

Yeah that part does suck; it was more noticeable during skiing.

It’s weird that they aren’t taking the camera shot without that audio because that’s very easy to do.

I guess they want to keep the sound of skis on snow, but that drone frequency is all alone up there so some phase canceling seems like it would be easy peasy for a semi-competent audio engineer.

They could easily take the drone shot with the same nat sounds of the skis. They cut cameras all the time without audio changes. My guess is they want the drone shots to stand out so they take it to air with the drone cam audio left in.

I didn’t notice any whirring over Lindsey Vonn’s screams of pain as she lied on the mountain. Must’ve been a parabolic mic picking that up.

It felt like I needed two before GtF but I hated it too. I almost went with Drone You but this is a Pearl Jam forum.
