Vitamin X Goes Pro!

As those of you who have visited our video page know, we like to video what we do. Watching our races helps us analyze where we’re doing good, and where we’re not doing so good. It also gives us good memories to look back on, and satisfies our vanity ever so slightly.

We’ve tried various setups over the years, from a 8mm HandyCam recording from a bulletcam, to a Mustek PVR recording from a bulletcam, to Oregon Scientific ATC2K self-contained camera, to Samsung’s SC-X210L. A few had their strengths, but all had their weaknesses. Difficult to use, too much wiring, reliability, you name it, we’ve seen it.

When we heard that Yamaha had a deal going with GoPro cameras, it immediately peaked our interest. And after watching the Josh Herrin/Ben Bostrom video, we knew that this camera was something we needed!

So when GoPro offered us a sponsorship package for 2008, we jumped at the opportunity. Yes, that’s right. For the 2008 season, we’ll be running GoPro’s motorsports cameras on our bikes and posting up the videos. You be the judge of how you like the video quality, and we’ll let you know how they hold up under the abuse that our supermoto bikes dish out.

Check out their website at GoPro Cameras, and see why they’re making waves.

It’s going to be a great season.
