tried out the camera today and used an extra mounting arm included w/ the camera to get more upward angle with the chest mount. Camera-wise the result was good, but riding slick trails the first day back on dirt after 6 months was a bad idea. I really dig this angle though, way better sense of what is going on than with a traditional helmet mount.
Oddly enough, these same clips look much better on Facebook than Vimeo. Go figure?
The first 20 seconds of my '09 riding season, and the first crash (other than eating sh*t on the sidewalk on my fixie but that's another story).

after the crash knocked the mount loose and the camera goes in for a close-up of my junk.

Better, but going slow.

And crashing again trying to use the side of a root to cut the corner to the inside. the root broke as soon as my front wheel hit it and i punched a rock with my hand. day over.
