Here it is guys. Round 2. I think this one turned out MUCH better then the last. Please, if you have any comments on how i could improve as far as camera positions go and whatnot, let me know. It was my first time ever and I had a blast! We just got back from Track 21 and i ran my helmet cam there too so i may upload that too if enough of you guys want to see it.

DJ

P.S. Dont make fun of my speed.

It's the GoPro camera. The same run you see Josh Hill and Team Yamaha Running.

I'd go out and get one today, but they are too bulky for riding in the woods. They stick up to far and would get snagged before I got into 2nd gear.

It looks a little dry on the track, but it's been hot lately too. What time did you take the vid?

Very cool btw, and thanks for sharing!:thumbsup: Nothing wrong with your speed either!

Are you happy with it? I was looking at the twenty20 cameras, specifically the VholdR camera, and that thing is a piece of crap. It costs $350, but it has no wind filtration on it, so all you hear is this deafening wind sound with a faint motorcycle engine in the background.

Judging by your video, this thing does a better job at keeping the wind at bay. And for under half the price. And it can go 100 feet underwater. Sounds pretty kickass to me.

That looks cool. I don't know what other people think but personally i think it would be cool if you could position the cam so it includes at least a little bit of the bars at the bottom of the screen without cutting off too much of the view ahead. No what I mean?

The GoPro is the sweetest camera EVAR!!! I just got one. No tape recorder, no external power, just self-contained recording on an SD media card. Sweet.

Brad, you can mount it on the side of your helmet if you want and it will avoid some of the snagging issues. Maybe even the top of your cp, if you wear one. They provide three or four different mounting options for the camera for free in the box.
