My local loop, first time with the chest mount. Managed to land 2nd place on the first descent and then make fun of a pretty flat trail. Hope you like it!

You can only embed youtube videos here.

To reduce the shaking on your gopro chest mount, you can put something between the camera and the plate to make it like one solid piece and use a rubber band to hold it all together. My videos used to shake a lot too, and I screwed onto the plate a rubber stopper and used a rubber band to hold the whole thing together in on piece. I can post pics when I get home to give you an idea.

Thanks! Yeah that would be awesome.. The video came out insanely shaky, I was pretty bummed when I got back home

abzillah, could you please post that on a new thread as it may get to a larger audience. great idea man. i prefer the chest mount (especially in areas where i constantly bang my head on trees), but all my videos end up looking like i'm on crack.
