- andrewtbham 12y agoThey are not new. but they have been growing over the last 10 years, in part because of the X Games.
- componentr 12y agoI believe it's just that GoPro + Internet allows for more action sports footage from many more perspectives to be broadcast to a wider audience compared to what was available ten years ago. I know theberrics.com uses GoProp for a lot of their footage.
