The uses, applications and mounting options for a GoPro camera are limited only by your imagination. Check out this edit done by us here at PRW. It highlights some of the many different sports and activities you can film on a GoPro Hero camera. This video shows a few ways we spent our winter: from a quick boating trip to the San Juan Island’s, to skiing and snowboarding at Stevens Pass, to mountain and road biking on some of our great local biking paths.
Enjoy.
GoPro, the Official Wearable Camera of the Sea Otter Classic, isn’t just sponsoring the pros this year. GoPro is also sending seven GoPro employees to compete at Sea Otter 2012. Get to know our pedal-pushing dream team.
Event: Woman’s Dual Slalom Pro
Mount of choice: For racing I use a helmet mount because it’s the easiest. For general riding I rock almost every mount we make.

Past Sea Otter experience: I love the Dual Slalom, it’s one of my favorite races of the year.

Spring is officially here, and we actually had a weekend with some of that bright stuff, I think they call it “sunshine”? Not quite sure, we will have to see if it ever comes back. In the meantime as the pro tour is starting to get rolling lets take a look back at last years AMGEN Tour of California as we get excited for this years May 13-20.
What do you do when you are in need of a good pow day when you live in western Washington, toss your gear in your Yakima Skybox and strap on your GoPro and go shred in the Mt Baker sidecountry. But don’t take my word for it…
The GoPro camera can do so much more than catch footage of you and your bros shred’n some sweet gnar. Or pro athletes making us all look bad doing what they do best. They can also show us a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes at JL Racing, a full custom rowing and cycling clothing manufacturer. Here is an inside look of their factory. You can watch a rowing unisuit get made from start to finish. Check out all their stuff at jlracing.
Check out what happens when three of the raddest snow athletes, Tom Wallisch, Tim Humphreys, and Tucker Perkins, team up with GoPro to capture the most cutting edge POV photography at Mt. Hood.
Check out GoPro’s soon to be released WiFi backpack, here is Suzanne from GoPro to tell you more about it. Check back for more details as they become available.

GoPro announced the release of its new HD HERO2® camera yesterday. Twice as powerful as GoPro’s original HD HERO camera, the HD HERO2 enables consumers and professionals to capture and broadcast their lives’ most exciting moments in professional quality 1080p HD video and 11 megapixel photos. The new HD HERO2 is now available for MSRP US$299.99.
Arguably the most versatile camera in the world thanks to its innovative mounting system, renowned durability and small form factor, the HD HERO2 surpasses its predecessor with several technology upgrades. The HD HERO2′s new processor delivers twice the processing power, taking full advantage of a new high performance 11 megapixel sensor that delivers more than twice the image detail along with professional low light performance. A totally redesigned wide-angle lens was required to take full advantage of the HD HERO2′s increased image-processing, resulting in a lens that’s twice as sharp as the previous model. And with the arrival of GoPro’s new Wi-Fi BacPac™ and Wi-Fi Remote products slated for release this winter, the HD HERO2 will enable video remote control via the Wi-Fi Remote, smartphones and devices, tablets and computers as well as enabling live GoPro video broadcast from anywhere there is Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot.
Famous for its globally best-selling HD HERO line of wearable and gear mountable cameras, GoPro spared no expense developing the HD HERO2.
