Featured Video: GoPro Spherical Lets You See What It’s Like to Race with American Pharaoh

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride on the back of American Pharaoh, the Triple Crown winner, here’s your chance. While you aren’t literally in the saddle, GoPro is giving you the next best thing. They’ve mounted one of their spherical cameras onto American Pharaoh as he engages in his morning workout at the Del Mar Race Track, the YouTube description states.




But don’t think all you’re going to see is what’s ahead of this winning racehorse. You can move the camera any direction you please making the experience an entirely unique one. Hold and drag to aim the camera if you’re watching on your mobile device, use the ASWD keys in Google Chrome, or click and drag or use the arrows at the top left corner of the screen in other browsers. You can also get the full 360 view using the Kolor App.



 

Once you try it, let us know what you think.
