Did some off-road riding this weekend (vids inside)

Did some riding this past weekend on a variety of trails in the pine barrens from fast open dirt roads to tight single track. I also tested out my new GoPro Hero HD for the first time and worked out well as a helmet cam. The vids are always compressed when uploaded to youtube but the raw quality is outstanding. I just wish the battery life was better as i run out of power before storage space.

GoPro Hero HD cam. You can mount them in all sorts of ways and they are water proof.

very cool, i thinking, afraid it might rip his head off if he gets thrown from the boat at 75 MPH..

 

would be cool to mount it to the boat and not his helmet.. ill have to check the one monted to the surf board..

That looks like a lot of fun. I'm also impressed with how stable the video looks considering you're offroad and all. Thanks for sharing

Since the camera attaches to your helmet, it gains stability from your head and body's natural motion damping. mounting it hard to the vehicle would result in a lot of vibration.

I'm not really totally sure. We wander through the state forests down in the pine barrens usually getting lost exploring various trails and then finding our way out eventually.
