I have been playing around with my new Go Pro Helmet Cam and I tried mounting it on the handlebars of the mtb. I must say, this is a no go. Its pretty amazing how much the handle bars twitch from side to side during a normal ride. I am the one that did the filming and even I got sick watching the video. This morning I moved the mount up to my helmet so hopefully that will turn out some higher quality videos. I think, in general, it is a much wiser move. On the handlebars, you would see the bike come up to a pretty cool obstacle in the trail, then would see the sky, then the ground as I went up and over it. I think with it on the helmet, you will be able to see exactly what I am seeing and hopefully have a better view of what it looks like to do a little mtbing. At least, that is my thought and plan.

Hopefully the second round of videos look better than the first because watching what the handlebar sees is rough.
I am up for riding whenever. If we are hitting dirt, things seems to be draining well, but there certainly is a bunch of water still out there.
