New Tech In The House

Two new items in the household, one for joy/pain the other for recording joy/pain.












On the left is my friend Chebs mountainboard which is used for the sport we are both passionate about. It is a large off road skateboard, a snowboard for grass. We regularly go mountainboarding around our local area doing freestyle, cruising the parks or jumping in the skate park. Last sunday we went to a mboard site that had a race track, drops and jumps it was epic fun. For further information on this go to chebsite were all our fun is documented.

On the right is the GoPro HD Hero as seen on the gadget show tested down a bobsled run and coming out best of the lot. It can do 1080P it has wide angle offering 170" of view and my favorite, it can do video in 60fps so you can have some seriously good slow motion footage! It has been strapped to the mboard and helmet cam, its in a sealed waterproof case. We have had some lovely shots using this slowing down our 180 jumps and tricks. However it is an expensive toy but saves me taking out my DSLR to get good pics.
