Here's a longer section of that steep sufferfest climb I ended up on by accident. I feel that this video captures the essence of the suffering perfectly, thanks to the chest mount and original audio (caution heavy breathing!).

I also recorded video with the ContourHD mounted on my helmet, but the footage was just as bouncy, plus it had way more wind noise and a knocking sound coming from the mount, even though I made sure it was good and tight before I started the ride.

Even worse, the camera being higher up made it look like I was crawling up all the climbs and descending like I'd never been on a mountain bike before. I'm really glad I had the GoPro mounted lower, as that footage turned out much better.

I did get some nice screen captures from the Contour though. Here they are.

A little further up the steep part of Stagecoach. Kind of rough here.

Rougher section of Stagecoach, but not as steep
