“GoPro is stoked to be teaming up with USA BMX to create some fresh content from these series,” said Christian Scott, GoPro Global Director of Lifestyle Marketing. “We are excited to see how these content creators use GoPro, especially the new features on the flagship HERO7 Black, including the built-in HyperSmooth stabilization.”
