Got an MD80 cam off ebay. Not the greatest, but worth the money ($15). My gopro is finally in the mail and I'm just getting antsy so I had to mess around with this.

Just some wheelies and some minor speed runs, not bad for a stock exhaust :P

the top angle looks better out of the ones you did.when you wheelie try not to chop the throttle to much. use your back brake to control it when it wants to go over to much.if you can get up to speed more,the wind resistance will help you stay at the balance point better by holding the bike up. if the bike starts to lean use your legs by pointing your knees in the opposite direction from what the bike is leaning at.other than that its a good start.that how I use to do it when I started.

Well there were 2 top angles, one on my helmet that only catches the road, and one on my backpack strap that only catches my arm :P I like the backpack setup but I wish I could get it more angled to the center.

I can do 25+ wheelies, the wind does help a lot (and it tracks alot straighter, yay for gyroscoping 10" wheels) and some almost no throttle slow speed stuff with more back brake, but I just took out my powervalve and there is a flat spot it the middle. Braking today kept hitting that bog point and then I would lose my height. I hate that d*** needle clip, I always drop it so I haven't adjusted it yet :P

My gopro is in the mail, and I'm fixing my cousin's R1 so I can finally have someone with a chase cam that can keep up ;)

get another strap and sew it to the backpack strap so you can connect it across your chest.Then mount the camera at chest level.so basicly the strap is going to connect to the 2 backpack straps so its across your chest.

I do have on of those (the center strap the holds the 2 shoulder straps) but it is only fabric and doesn't stay straight up and down. So I ended up clipping it to the end of it that attaches to the shoulder strap. I thought about taping a ruler to it or something so that it stays more rigid (the backpack is for riding and fits well, just the center strap is thin).

here is one I made.i used the web style belts and sewed a the neck strap to the height I wanted the camera to sit then sewed that piece to anothe belt so it goes around my body.the mount is made from a thin plate steel and i just bolted a l bracket to it. so basicly it looks like a harness.kind of like the go pro harness except mine hold a point and shoot kodak easy share camera.

Mmm, got my Gopro HD and had to wait out the weekend (missed a great day on the streetbike) because I was waiting on SD cards. Finally got to do a test run today after it dried up. Almost 12'd my bike going for a spreader :P And baka you're right, I really don't use as much brake as I thought I did. Helps to be able to see what's going on, in the moment everything feels a lot different.

I can feel the speed! But I wanted to see the rider's shot of the launch, especially if it's picking up like that.
