The Ridiculous World of Massive Vintage GoPros

 
GoPros look really silly, but before they were invented things were even more strange, like Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart here, styling it out with a movie camera and a can of spam strapped to his head. Let's take a quick look at some of the incredible predecessors of the GoPro...


Snowboarding in an awesome pink onesie - 1988






Formula 1 - 1966 (Jackie Stewart again)


Although both of Jackie Stewart's head-contraptions seem bonkers, they're still a shit load more sensible than this...




Mountain biking - 1987 


Dressing like Geordi La Forge - 1973 From Modern Mechanix


Motorcross in 1986 


And a decade later things hadn't progressed much... 




 A man with a square head Skydiving - 1961



Motorbike racing in the On Any Sunday movie which starred Steve McQueen - 1971





Steve McQueen was such a big fan of the get-up that he got involved himself while filming Le Mans the same year...

And even the great man couldn't pull this look off.
