Over Christmas I shot some test footage at Steamboat Springs in Colorado with the HERO HD helmet cam with my brother-in-law Jason Lacy aka “The Mayor.” Here is what we got. Music by The Exciters — Exciters Theme from “Panama! Latin, Calypso and Funk On the Ithmus from 1965-1975″ available on Soundway Records.
It was one of the coldest Christmases that I can remember in Steamboat this year so unfortunately, I was only able to film for one day. Fortunately, I was able to snowmobile to the continental divide located in Routt National Forest with my good friend Jupiter. However, I didn’t shoot any video because I didn’t want to stick one of the mounts on my snowmobiling rental helmet. I need to get some more of those HERO helmet accessories.
