Wakeboarding With GoPro Hero HD On Helmet

[xKroNxNetwork]

sick boarding would of been unreal to see you hit a double up though

[micbergsma]

@xKroNxNetwork oh yeah will do double ups with gopro hero2 this year

[nhbiglake]

ahh! i wish i could have just an hour of water that smooth!!

[TheBaseballlover]

did other boats like tell sherif about no life jaccket

[micbergsma]

@TheBaseballlover no idea... on lake austin dont have to wear one..

[TheBaseballlover]

@micbergsma thats awesome but not safe for me cause i suck at wakeboarding

[micbergsma]

@TheBaseballlover hey it's not about how bad the rider is.. beginner, advanced or pro rider can knock out and drown with no lifevest.. still dangerous, I was stupid not to wear it :-/ I knocked out on sbend in 2007, I passed out for like 10 sec, lucky my lifevest held my face out of the water and my feet was out of the boot.. imagine that with no lifevest I would be dead

[TheBaseballlover]

@micbergsma yeah that is true

[sappiajonathanasd]

@impolishandpro yeah I was dumb not wearing it... didn't have my gears so I just went out and play on wakeboard for fun

[stephenplaysball]

[stephenplaysball]

[DeltaForceUnlimited0]

Which gopro cam is this?

[micbergsma]

@DeltaForceUnlimited0 1080p HD - model is motorsports

[DeltaForceUnlimited0]

is this the Hero surf?

[micbergsma]

@DeltaForceUnlimited0 no... Hero Motorsports HD

[XDShaneee]

if i fell in the water with the gopro on, would it fall off easily?

[micbergsma]

@XDShaneee I crashed hard and it's still on the helmet... I recommend to get gofloatit for it so it will float if it fell off the helmet or tie gopro with a string

[XDShaneee]

@micbergsma alright thanks man!

[poopywaffles]

When are your new vids coming outtt?

[micbergsma]

@poopywaffles just arrived home from a week and half trip on lake powell... will have many videos up soon! :-D

[ASTELECT]

[micbergsma]

@ASTELECT 10 mins video will take me like 8 hours or more if I upload in HD

[FreeTubz]

Hey, can you use the gopro as an normal camera too? like just shoor some family stuff from handheld?

[micbergsma]

[micbergsma]

@FreeTubz of course! I do all the time! go on my channel and you will see many videos I filmed with gopro

[micbergsma]

@bIindly yes, all gopro are very wide lens

[aldenpexton]

[micbergsma]

@aldenpexton nope not yet.. I am planning to get a new housing with flat lens soon! it's a must on my list to get

[aldenpexton]

sick bro, are you using the flat lense for your go pro to see clearly under water

[zdunc9224]

Ever had any gnarly wipeouts with the helmet mount? How did it hold up?

Im scared to use the helmet mount cuz i feel like if i crash hard it would come off, so ive been wearing the helmet strap on my head with the helmet over the strap.

[micbergsma]

@zdunc9224 hold up really good, I got some hard falls and gopro is still on my helmet.. I am using gofloatit now and never have to worry anymore.. find my video called go float it gopro

[zanex361]

whats the little handle for. im new to wakeboarding and i just got a new rope with that on it.

[micbergsma]

@zanex361 it's for wrapped tricks where you don't have to do handlepass

[wakety21]

Sweeeeeet viiiiddddd mannnnn........pretty good skills too bro...i live in pennsylvania so i dont get to ride much...ive been riding for 5 years but i still cant get good air going wake 2 wake... im wondering wether you actually lean back holding your edge the whole way through the wake and extend to get pop or if you hold your edge to the bottom of the wake, flatten out and extend your legs to get good pop??? Id greatly appreciate a response. p.s how do you like the b-side?

[micbergsma]

@wakety21

dang yeah it's hard to keep up with the skill from living up north.

ya edge all the way to the bottom of the wake then flat down and push your legs on top of the wake to give you a good air, keep handle low, stand tall... I am not good at explain... body language is better for me ha..

first work on one wake jump then go big and bigger, should feel comfy that way.. I like bside.. I rode it 2008 season, marek 141 in 2009 and this year gonna switch to murray 142
