Abe Kislevitz knows his way around a GoPro. Which makes sense considering that he's worked there for years. Many of your favorite GoPro promotional videos and ads are likely in some way his handiwork, particularly those that involve skiing. Some might even say that he is partially responsible for the GoPros attached to an estimated 40% of the world's intermediate-advanced skiers.
