What did you get?

Great times skiing at local mountain with all of family and a new Helmet camera made by oregon scientifics, the ACT2K model.
 
The camera works decently, althought the mounting hardware allows too much vibration. I rigged it to my helmet securely but you don't know what video you are capturing until you remove the card and download it to your PC. I got an hour of race footage, unfortunately pointed a little too low to keep the horizon in view and it made it hard to watch. Video quality was good for the price. It would also be better if the lens had a wider angle.
 
On the topic of the camera - I looked at them when costco sold them here - one guy has an article on-line on how to retrofit a wide angle lens on to it.

My gifts this year? Riding gear - top quality hebo stuff - red and black - the gofasters closeout stuff. Unbelievable price - $35 for the pants.... The Hebo XX is the same line that they use for the gasgas logo'ed gear - very, very nice at 75% off retail...

I also got a new natural gas range for the kitchen - my wife said it was for me... ;)

Sweet gifts you guys got.

I cant wait to try the helmet camera tomorrow skiing. Mabe if it clears up I will do some Ice ridding with it on.

Please post up the videos, and I will try to get one up by Monday at latest.
 
Okay, I decided to buy some of the Hebo gear that Jeff liked as a late Xmas gift for myself and I got a set of Bulletproof Designs radiator guards. I'm still waiting for my Hyde frame and pipe guard:( but I expected it might take a while
 
I got a new sweat shirt and hat from my mom through GoFasters.... OH I really mean from Santa. :)

Arai vx pro :D...I had to buy the sidi's and klim gear to go with it myself though. Gear was all from 2004 though so do for a refresh. Nice lil surefire flashlight too. I need a helmet cam me thinks. Any word on the record time of those oregon scientific models? They don't say what the run time is for a set of batteries or how much they will hold with a 2gb card in it.
 
I got a GoPro wide angle 170 degree lens for my birthday, used it yesterday in a local marathon race. It records up to 56 minutes of footage, uses 2 high power nic cad batteries, and flash card. Sound quality is pretty great, at least on the TV.
 
Nothing.
My entire family did not celebrate the merchants holliday this year and hopefully will continue to do so. They finally realized how silly it is to buy things and give them to people only on a certain day??
I do things and provide for my family throughout the year.

Sounds alright to me. I admit th money spent is silly but I mostly just like the dinner and quality time with the family, and something about a warm home in the cold night just feels good.
 
Christmas present

I got a 2003 Gas Gas 250EC with 147 original miles on it. It has all of the LTR goodies plus I bought out all of the Gas Gas parts that Cliff's Cycle Center had to go with it for $200.

Exactly,
Thats what we did. Two dinners at two different locations over 2 days. Even the dinners were down sized.
