Well Alaska is getting a late start and our 1st real ride was on Nov. 1st. I bought a helmet camera this summer and these clips were taken from that ride. Nothing special but you will get to see some snow and sledding. We are learning what angle to place the camera still so this vid is shot a little too low. Hope you enjoy it.

OMG you guys SUCK!!!!


Its like waiving a chicken leg in front of a fat kid.

Or a hot chick in a bikini walking by a bunch of prisoners.

Either case mouths watering......

You guys have fun and be safe up there. The sleds look great and I love the helmet cam. What kind of setup do you have the helmet cam rigged with?

I am using a Sony TRV-350 camcorder and a Sony 480 bullet cam. I bought both item seperately on eBAY last month. I paid $250 for the camcorder and about $120 for the bullet cam. The main thing you want to look for in a camcorder is if it has VIDEO inputs, if you dont have them you cant use a helmet cam. I bought two 2GB memory sticks so I can capture about 8 hours on the two sticks. thanks for the compliments, more is on it's way. :cool:
