Meet the Million Dollar Crew: Mirko Paoloni

Nearly 28,000 HERO10 Black clips from 131 countries were submitted for the chance to be featured in the fourth annual Million Dollar Challenge highlight reel. Ultimately, 62 creators made the cut, earning $16,129.03 a piece.

This series celebrates the stories and the creative processes of these talented creators. We hope these behind-the-scenes looks inspire you as much as they did us.

We're sliding into this week's Million Dollar Challenge spotlight with a creator who is equal part daredevil, equal part creative mastermind and, most recently, a Million Dollar Challenge recipient.

As a pro downhill skater and filmmaker, Mirko Paoloni has a long history of capturing epic skate shots. But a recent HERO10 Black capture of himself, Lisa Peters, Fred Falco and Nikolay Keller bombing a hill is what caught the eye of the GoPro Media team.

We sat down with Mirko to learn more about his winning shot. Check it out below.
