by Tyler Maine
Feb 4, 2010


Jordan and some of the Chilliwack locals were out ripping on Vedder Mountain this past weekend and busted out the GoPro HD with chest mount. Jordan, Cory and Luke all took turns ripping trails like Two Cents, Skidder, Turd Ferg and Femur with the GoPro HD on.

Check out the slick trails,

 which resolution did you use on the gopro ?
flag Thrillride (Feb 4, 2010 at 7:48)
 a little higher on the camera would be nice. I'd like to see more of the trail and less of the bike

 i agree

flag smoranc  (Feb 4, 2010 at 11:48)
 would be better with a helmet mount. Just my opinion. Cheers.

 glad some people know what i mean lol!
yeh its a right nice camera but... chest... mounted..? maybe its got some adjustment to make it higher, then it probably wouldnt be so bad

 Vedder mountain is a ton of fun till you get a moto rider who thinks its funny to rip your trail. ( Scowls at Radek Wink )
flag clintallac (Feb 5, 2010 at 19:07)
 moto riders have the majority on vedder and by the way we try and stay to our own trails not like we mean to rip your trails blame it on the out if towners LOL!!!

 can you upload that vid in better resolution somewhere?
flag beneli (Feb 4, 2010 at 6:00)
 I think this is in almost the same quality as original, but I can be wrong.
flag ustemuf  (Feb 4, 2010 at 10:14)
 original quality is way better than this.

 who sings the first song and what is called?

 Angle way to low, but the camera works goo. It's a bit of a pain to set up the camera with no display but it does have a wide area to pick up from so you just have to aim your prospective angle close. GoPro is supposed to be coming out with a lcd screen to piggy back of with a sealable door so then it will be the cat; ass.

 Anyone know if there's gonna be a firmware update for the Go Pro HD anytime soon that enables the "upside down" video? With this it would be easier to flip the J mount on the chesty and mount the cam upside down and get the view a lot better?

Having tried my Go Pro HD on my chest I reckon it definitely needs this. In the meantime I'm planning on using a couple of the short extension arms to let me angle it better on the chesty next time out.
flag emarciniak (Feb 4, 2010 at 10:03)
 Just flip the video in editing.
flag Mad-Pierre (Feb 8, 2010 at 0:36)
 I'll have to see if my Editing s/w can do that....? No doubt more time consuming processing on the 'puter? Still be nicer if I didn't have to like you can with the standard Go Pro.

 super nice trails.. i would love to ride there someday

 Why are they riding so slow? Would have been a good demo if they had been givin'r some speed and rippin it up instead of the cruiser ride! Or is it true that these cameras cant handle any real speed?
flag ninjaty (Feb 4, 2010 at 10:26)
 i agree.

 gotta turn the go pro upside down if you want any decent footage with the chest mount. this footage sucks.

 the second guy was alot better than every one elas in my oppinion...also you should probalay fix the camera angle, then you would get a better view of the trail
