“When you think of skateboarding, you think of Greg Lutzka, and we can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with our technology,” said Donovan Prostrollo, senior director of marketing, Blast Motion. “He’s been a force in the skateboarding world for many years,.”

The Blast ActionCam motion sensor securely attaches to the GoPro Hero 3 and 3+ cameras and instantly captures and automatically creates highlight clips of your sessions. Blast Motion’s exclusive Smart Video CaptureTM technology allows users to see their activity in full 1080p HD quality with metrics—such as hang time—overlaid directly onto the video clip. This gives users exceptional detail and insight into their performance. Blast’s Smart Video Capture makes it easy to share video play back, and highlights via social media.
A true game-changer for GoPro Hero camera footage, Blast Motion’s software automatically curates the highlight videos, saving the user from having to spend time editing hours of video. Blast Motion’s proprietary technology is designed to be a non-intrusive solution that adds further value to GoPro Hero video.
