Devin Super Tramp!

If you're into film making or anything adrenaline you should definitely check out Devin Graham. He is an American Filmmaker from Salt Lake City, Utah and is known for his extreme Youtube videos on his channel, Devinsupertramp. He created it back in 2010 and since then has spent hours and hours creating outstanding videos which all appeal to a wide audience.



It all started when Devin was studying film at Brigham Young University where he hoped to work on up and coming feature films. But this all changed and instead of finishing the degree, Devin tried making his own videos which he wanted to post on the social media site, Youtube.

Over the past 3 years Devin has posted 100 videos based around adventure and extreme sports. These include - Flying in Slow Motion, Human Sling Shot - Slip and Slide, Salt Boarding, Worlds Largest Rope Swing, Festival of Colours, Extreme High-lining, Slip and Slide, Base Jumping and many more.


Most of his videos have views in the millions, one even reaching over 29million. To date he has just over 1.5 million subscribers and over 268K views. His success has lead to huge sponsorships, one being from the energy drink company 'Mountain Dew'.


Devin is driven by success and has previously said "My goal with any of these videos is to inspire and remind people that if you love something do it, pursue your dreams, don't wait until its all over, no regrets, seize the day. I love what I do and I would encourage anyone out there who loves something to work for it, and fight for it."

"Ever since I was a little kid I was borrowing my parents camera's to get the shot that no one else could ... That resulted in several cameras busted ... I have continued this passion ever since! The truth of the matter is what I do, it is work, its a crazy amount of work, I absolutely love it, Ill keep doing it till the day I die"

 

He has a second Youtube Channel (DevinGraham) where behind the scenes videos are uploaded so that those who are interested in the making of his videos can check them out. I find his videos hugely entertaining and inspiring and can't wait to see what other ideas he comes up with in the future.
