Career
Graham began making films of his stunts snowboarding at an early age. After breaking his back and legs snowboarding, he shifted his focus to being behind the camera.{{cite news|url=http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/youtube-devin-grahahm-supertramp-interview/|title=Thrillseeker: Behind the scenes with Devin "SuperTramp" Graham|work=The Daily Dot|author=Chase Hoffberger|date=September 20, 2012|accessdate=September 1, 2014}} He studied film making at Brigham Young University with the original intent on working on feature films.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2012/04/devin-graham-devinsupertramp/|title=You Are Not Immune to Devin Graham's Viral Videos|author=Keith Barry|magazine=Wired|date=April 30, 2012|accessdate=September 1, 2014}} After seeing the successes of YouTube videos, specifically one made on a cellphone that amassed over two million views, Graham opted to focus on making videos of his own rather than completing his degree.
Graham mostly produces, films, and edits his videos on his own. In a number of occasions, Graham has stated that he's worked with his roommate Jeff Harmon, others for sound, and cameramen if required. In Logan, Utah, he recruited 30 fan volunteers to help him shoot a snowball fight after making a public appeal on Facebook.
Graham's YouTube channel has more than six million subscribers and his videos have amounted to over a billion views as of April 2021. His videos are noted for their high production value and frequent use of Glidecam stabilizers.{{Cite web|title=Devin Graham|url=https://glidecam.com/masters/devin-graham/|access-date=2021-04-06|website=Glidecam Industries, Inc.}} Some of his revenue comes from corporate sponsorships for his videos; which have included the clothing brand Vooray,Tim Nudd.
