hey now - any one ever had their speed reliably measured?
Our last snowboarding holiday was in a ski area with a piste which had
speed measurement (Fiss, Austria, the 'Rennstrecke' on the Northern side
of
the area).
Interesting question. I'm slightly *neurotic* about gadgets and have a nice
handheld GPS that includes that data. Top speed, alt, trip odom, etc.
We have such a device too, but my wife usually walks/cycles/snowboards with
the GPS.
I have a helmet cam that is decent, but watching bullet cam video does a
terrible job of conveying to the viewer speed and pitch.
The footage resembles sledding down my driveway. LOL.
Hmm.. I stumbled across
http://www.goprocamera.com/ and they make it look
easy to get nice helmet cam video. So you still need a good director and
stunt coordinator
