Video was shot with a GoPro HD Motorsports Hero mounted on my hood.

Damn, we should drive together some time. The only road I've been to is highway 9 and I've been there more than 5 times already, getting bored.

nice video, thanks for sharing.

I have also been considering getting a goPro camera. Do you have any idea upto what speed the mount can support the camera safely?

9 is a lot of fun. There's a bunch of roads in that area that I have yet to try. 236 looks like it could be a lot of fun:

I'm not sure to be honest. You can always use a permanent mount (camera comes with a bunch of mounting options) or even mount the camera on the inside of your windshield.

The roads were too bumpy to go much faster in a lot of areas. But yea it was more of a cruise.
