It's the gopro wide motorsports cam. I'm using the suction cup mount on the gas tank.

Cool... always wondered how that camera was. I know Richard (racebikerentals) uses the same camera for his race videos.

thanks for the info.

Nice video, and it looks like quite a fun road! Here's a google map of the road:

Nice video, and it looks like quite a fun road! Do you have a maplink to where it's located?

A is where the start of the vid and B is the end. I'm uploading the uphill run right now. Takes awhile though. Oh yeah, the road is actually tighter than it looks on the video. It's just the wide angle lens effect.

:) Looks like we posted simultaneously. I was wondering if it was a little tighter than it looks, I've been on a few rides through the Angeles Forest and many of the fun roads up there are quite tight.

haha! From where your A is at is the backside, a lot tighter turns then the frontside, also my favorite part of the road. Backside is dirty and icy so I just kept to the frontside.

I was just at GMR and Azusa today. Azusa sucks right now. Really dirty and wet.

I cut my teeth on the fire roads back there when I started mountain biking.... this is the only think I miss about Azusa/Glendora (Marshall Canyon was my favorite though and kept the ER in business). Now that the Ninjette has joined the family, I could go back for one more visit with her :)
