@alex.s awesome stuff bro...but I had a question if you'll humor me. I've always attached my gopro to the bike and never to my helmet thinking that the 'un-aerodynamic' shape of the GoPros plus the added weight will allow for too much buffeting and just make things weird, but seeing as you race with that setup at high speeds (I assume you're using the adhesive mount) how much of an effect does the cam have on your riding?Pros, cons? wind drag? etc. and if you'd be so kind, your mounting method would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

i put one of the sticky mounts on my helmet. they require you to also secure it with safetywire so i wired the camera to the helmet also just in case. it makes more noise but has no effect on my riding, most of the time i forget its there... sometimes as im just sitting up approaching a slow corner, the wind hits the camera first and tilts my head slightly... kinda annoying the first few times it happened but i hardly notice it anymore. a few times i've seen the shadow and been surprised because i forgot i had it on my head

pros would be the POV angle and always having the camera pointed where the action is. cons would be looking kinda retarded. i left it on for a while while riding on the street and literally everyone was asking about it. so thats a pro or a con depending on your personality. it was a con for me so i take it off on the street now.
