Snowboarding at Snow Valley w/ GoPro HD - 2/28/2010

Snowboarding at Snow Valley with friends! It was a great day, complete with a lot of blue sky and sun, and most importantly, FRESH POWDER from the previous day's snowfall. We're all of different skill levels, but the best part was the good times and great fun.

@jrsimon25 Much appreciated :)

when it was on the board it was so ruff

[badboybucu]

@smartymanify yeah it really was, which is why I opted to show only a few seconds of its footage, haha. I think the only way to keep it stable is to execute a tail press the whole time!

Check out some of my videos from snow valley

@djdjocker This is an excellent idea if you have cheap and easy access to a ski pole. I didn't at the time, so I went PVC. It's a little more work, but as evidenced by my Tahoe trip this weekend, one of the PVC pieces snapped when another snowboard came down on it; so now all I have to do is cut another PVC pipe to size and reattach the connectors. Cheap!

@maffegoser you can buy a handlebar mount and just clapm it on to a ski pole ?

[djdjocker]

@maffegoser im using a scrap ski pole that i got for free in a snowshop...... and then i put the tubing adapter for the gopro on the ski pole.... dont need the entire ski pole... you can cut it :P enjoy

@badboybucu Thanks! I think I'll do that :D.

@maffegoser I actually built mine from PVC pipes and connectors, available at any hardware store. Then just mount one of the GoPro adhesive mounts to the end of the pole, and you're good to go. I've heard of others using monopods and ski poles, but mine was cost effective (under $15 when you include spray paint), and if it ever breaks, I'll simply just have to cut another piece of PVC as replacement. Happy building!
