I'd say this was the best use of a GoPro:
GoPro HD: Monster Tajima's Record Breaking Run Pikes Peak 2011 - YouTube

Not sure if them paving the whole thing for next year is a good thing or a bad thing.

 

Pikes Peak and Tajima was a perfect candidate for GoPro to sponsor... the "cheapness" of GoPro, relatively speaking, now allows teams to use multi camera angles. I think they used > 12 gopro's on Tajima's car.

As for fully paving next year, it changes the game really. It will never be the same again, and it's sad to see the dirt aspect of it gone. But it's still a great race. It's almost like saying, is Rally Germany worse than Rally Greece because of the tarmac?

 

 

Not gunna lie, that was ****ing badass!

Hella smart to just use the elevator..on the outside

 

wow that was crazy sick, wish i had the ***** do that haha

 

wow that's hella crazy

 

Wow.

 

 

Now that's an oxymoron if I ever heard of one. Personally, I would use the inside space.

Sadly I developed a fear of heights

 

if you use the inside, how do you get outside?

 

That's the point lol

 

it makes a great POV **** cam.

 

yeah, seeing how fast he was scooting down the side of the mountain, that was pretty dam steep...

 

That was INSANE!!! Don't think that was his first attempt though. Seemed too ready and used to having to catch his snowboard as it rolls past him.

 

thought this thread was going to be ****.

now im bummed
