This is why having the GoPro bothers me ...


http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/dc6d7c3bcc/best-fails-of-20...

Now, is it just a coincidence that the camera is on and people do stupid #@%$#!, or do people do stupid #@%$#! because the camera is on?
And if it's the camera that causes the pain, then I'm putting my GoPro up for sale :lol:



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

i think people do stupid things anyway... cameras just encourage it... ya know... on the slight chance you pull off what ever "feat" you are attempting... you'd be immortalized... on film... and win an oscar... and 10 million dollars... and all the women you could ever want :lol:

if not... send your camera to nebraska... there are more stupid people per capita here i believe... id be thant much closer to that oscar, LMAO!!

::side note... i cringed on almost all of those vids... :o
was that you at the end on the Suz?

Great video Kami! I constantly search Youtube for great videos just like this.

I have to watch it all after work!

I had to go pee when the fork lift driver turned the warehouse on it's side!:bouncy:
I heard once that if someone says " watch me " turn on the camera 'cause you are going to get a shot . Probably a blooper!

Hey Sailors,
Sorry, stoopid doesn't come in the box with the camera.
I think you have to pay extra.

BTW... I have become a dealer for GoPro.
The SD is in-stock while the HD is back-ordered (expected just before nabx).
I also have the Roll-bar and Bike clamps in-stock (they fit the axle and downtube)


Safen Up! Buggy On!

I've seen that clip before and I think I remember it's a Vodka warehouse. Can you imagine?

What is amazing is that for all the idiocy and random happenings (the guy getting missed by the bus was my favorite, simply astounding) that these are a fraction of the things that actually happen and don't get filmed. I remember (barely at this point) things that I did when I was younger that would have put me in this video for sure - difference is video cameras were bulky luxury items that no one I knew had back then let alone carried around with them all the time like video capture on cellys these days.



we all believe is called the expansion

i've got footage of aliens.... one of the movies we shot in high school was an cheesey space invaders flick... we have a shot of me dressed entirely in tin foil comming out of a corn field... well, long story short it was such a "good costume" we almost caused a wreck... some lady freaked out an floored it through an intersection... i wasnt even walking her way, i think we caught her off guard... that night we also got the cops called on us... we were lurking around the neighborhood, me in tin foil, my buddy with a shoulder mount camera... i guess people thought we were peeking in windows :puzzled:
when the cop took us back to my house my parents couldnt stop laughing... i was hardcore in my youth :lol:
