[+] Rider: Parker McAbery. This afternoon we got out for a quick lap to sample the fresh snow from the storm that rolled through the last two days. It was gooooood!
Here’s a helmet cam video of part of my ride (the part before the helmet cam crapped out):

This weekend I had my first chance to test out my new helmet cam, the GoPro Helmet Hero. It’s a tiny little digital camera with a 170º fisheye lens enclosed in a waterproof casing, which mounts on top of my snowboard helmet.
The video I’ve posted here is just a mellow cruiser run that we lapped a few times… nothing too spectacular but heaps of fun nonetheless. It was mellow enough that we opted for the “Chinese Downhill” strategy of going all at once, and I went last hoping to get some of my friends on camera in front of me. I’m looking forward to filming some of the more intense lines we normally do around here.
More initial thoughts about this helmet cam below.
