My 2 cents on this discussion: I have tried GoPro's and I have a Countour ROAM. This "mine's bigger than yours" bickering will go forever... the fact is, they are pretty much close to each other in features and quality, it goes down to personal preference. If I were to engage on a 'fact' based argument, my experience would allow me to say: - GoPro's sound is just as bad (yeah, Contour sucks too), but again, I don't know of any cheap POV camera that has any decent sound capabilities with the built in mic. I'd say, the Contour takes the win here because (at least on the ROAM) the mic is water prof. - GoPro's default color settings tends to be more vivid, Contour look a bit more natural (maybe a bit on the pale side). I don't see this as a good or bad thing. - The rattle on the Countour's... well, I have never experienced that, so I don't know. Maybe the camera mount choices has something to do with it? - Video being jumpy, well CMOS based cameras suck anyway (which both contour and gopro's are I believe) for anything with lots of movement. Once they move to CCD, that's going to be a very different story all together. And on the vids above, yes, the video edit does suck a bit...

Don't know about you guys, but I see about 4 or 5 POD worthy pics... and one VOD btw ;) It's just epic this...

"The TRUAX rides the line between a traditional shore bicycle, a freeride bike and a downhill bike, pulling the best from each world and essentially creating a new style of bicycle design and intended use" Seriously? OK, call it what you want, but don't make the same mistake the auto industry manufactures do every time they come up with a new car - it some how belongs into a new category (SUVs,SAVs, Coupe SUVs, and so it goes on...) What was wrong with "All Mountain" to start with?

You know what makes me really happy? I'm finally starting to see some 'zocchis in the racing scene again. The fork battle is, at last, heating up again (not just RS and Fox anymore, like the past 2 or 3 years).

Let me guess, your idea of an antique piece of museum is a playstation2, right?

As far as I can see here, people who dont welcome this idea are the ones mostly focused on some area of MTB, either DH or XC, thus the idea not making much sense to them. I have a DH bike, a XC bike and an AM bike, and will absolutely welcome seat height adjustablility on the fly on the AM bike (DH always fixed down, XC always fixed up, AM realy depends on the day, trail and mood as the ideal position for the seat changes about every 5 mins or so...) I'm actually waiting for this bad boy like a kid waiting for Santa (all the others I tried have a bit too much play on the saddle).

I was about to ask about Darren Berrecloth... until I saw this comment. Thanks mate!
