NOT!

here are some more pics from Stringy's proto-mount for the go pro..

tried it out on the sliders...
seems like everytime I'm on the slider the cam goes wavey.... maybe it's the jolt from olling up onto the slider or....? Maybe with boots it will be smoother..?

wanted to take the cam out in the waves at Newport yesterday but out of batteries...typical Confused

Who knew the pickel could turn into an S-rail!

Chanson was killing it last weekend on his skim. Saw him boardslide the entire length of the pickel 5 or 6 times Cool

NICE!
hey jake, the waviness is probably contributed to the lines getting slack enough to make the cam move around during the shutter process. not sure what you could do to correct this other than trying to keep tension on the lines and parking your kite when hitting the slider. cool perspective. I brought that mount down to the slider jam for that main purpose so glad to see what that perspective looks like now.
I've got an idea for an improvement to the current design so will work on that soon.
will need some daring volunteers to strap it on for the BOTG.

keep killin it!

Hey Chanson...... what skim do you ride? Used it for wave/beach skim (meaning no kite) as well?? Curious.

Stonetackular! I hate pesky water drops on the lense...they've messed up more than a few of my waterproof camera shots...

Dawn-Jon-sun...it's time you post your GoPro Slider cam vids!

Zoo bomb 2nite? Takers?

Dude, its like 10000 degrees it. My wheels would melt. Plus, I wear those motorcycle pants.. BUT

if there are takers, then I am game. When do the max stops become fewer and fewer? i would love to go out around 8. I've got a gopro board mount almost set up.. will take about 10 minutes to compete.
