WhatвЂ™s his deal?Д¬hristian Busath is one of our friends weвЂ™ve had in a bunch of videos. Who is this big dude from the video? Everyone loves him. So itвЂ™s like a complete surprise and all of a sudden youвЂ™re flung in the air. ItвЂ™s actually terrifying because youвЂ™re sitting there at the end of it with your back turned and youвЂ™re not exactly sure when the person is going to jump. IвЂ™ll never send someone on something I donвЂ™t feel is completely safe, but as far as me doing stuff, IвЂ™d say only about 25 percent of the time I do it. IвЂ™m afraid of heights and a lot of the things we do IвЂ™m terrified of. If weвЂ™re doing a really dangerous stunt, we make sure we get experienced people.Дo you always try the stunts yourself if youвЂ™re asking your friends to do them? People definitely get banged up on our shoots, but we have a really clean track record. YouвЂ™re going up 40 or 50 feet before you hit the water, so thereвЂ™s always a risk factor. A girl got one of her fake nails torn off, there were some bruises. A couple of people did get minor injuries.

Just a waiver each, and more than anything thatвЂ™s just a release form to make sure we can use the footage for whatever we want, like on TV and stuff. How many waivers do you make them sign? It seems dangerous, like you could get sued. Then it was about three days of actual filming, and then about another week of editing and color correction.

We planned it out about two weeks ahead of time before we filmed it, it took a little time because we got one of the worldвЂ™s best-IвЂ™m not even sure what you call them-flyboarding athletes, to be in it. We come up with the idea, either me or someone on my team and then itвЂ™s a big process as far as making it happen. How does it come together, and how long does it really take to make a three-minute YouTube hit? That being said, most of our videos, where itвЂ™s not a trade, cost far, far more than that.

So on this one, since it was a trade, IвЂ™d say we only spent $5,000 out of our pocket. We said, вЂњHey, can you give us some of the resources you have so we can do this idea?вЂќ They were stoked about that because they knew theyвЂ™d get a lot of exposure, so they donated all the resources and we went in there and made it happen. Well, Boardco is a watersport company and they had a houseboat and the other watersports gear, and they were a friend, so it was a trade. So whatвЂ™s the budget on something like this? Like Indiana Jones? LetвЂ™s recreate the boulder scene, but with dozens of runners getting plowed over by an inflatable ball with people riding inside of it. Think Slip and Slides are fun? How about sliding on one, right off a cliff? Want to have a snowball fight? Throw in some snowmobile stunts. The channel has big-budget branded content featuring 'pros,' like the adrenaline-spiking 'World's Largest Zipline' stunt for Speed Stick, but also ultra-beautiful travel videos with thousands of glowing lanterns taking flight over Colorado Springs, or an elephant playfully splashing Graham with river water in Nepal-the type of stuff that will make you ache with wanderlust.Д«ut it's a third type of video that stands out as Graham's signature style: Take regular people, throw them into a crazy, fun but-also-kinda-scary scenario, and set the whole thing to a bumping, inspirational beat. Graham, a 32-year-old film school dropout better known now as Devin Supertramp, has turned an extreme version of fun into Internet fame and a business that has generated well over half a billion views and counting, along with 3.6 million subscribers. His globetrotting, extreme-adventure-meets-extreme-friendship YouTube channel is so envy-inducing that the most common comment (and there are a lot of them) is some version of вЂњIs this real life?! IвЂ™ve been doing it all wrong.вЂќ Devin Graham is the absolute master of fun, the viral video version of it.
