I would think that the snow would fly out to the sides of the tires and if you line up the edge of the helmet with the top of the mountains in the far horizon there should be a lot of movement.

Looks similar to how Donald Trump's hair moves and reminds me of Superman flying in the 1980s movies.

Fake or not, on a big screen it is still cool.

Similar on bicycles

Wheels are rolling and head doesn't seem as steady. This looks more realistic.

The bicycle video is 'no fake' ... Kind of amazing how the camera moves with the head,     Also i think this bicycle trail is a little more challenging then the motorcycle ridge trail video..  A couple times the bicycle guy's front wheel was within inces of the edge..

I thought it odd that the rider's head never moved during the ride.  Also the front tire is not "rolling" in many of the shots.  Wonder if this is touched up??

My brother in law said the same thing about his helmet, the reason it looks like his head never moves it because the camera is mounted to the helmet and moves with the helmet making it look like is stationary. Like this video from the GoPro web site, since the camera is mounted to the helmet it looks like his head isn't moving but everything else is. As for the front tire I was it moving. I think the guy is just crazy!

the head does not move because the camera is mounted to the helmet. so the helmet is always stationary in the scene. what you will also notice is that the center of the camera is always pointed exactly where the rider wants to go - when i was young i was taught to always always point my head exactly where i wanted to go - if you look at a pot hole thats where you are going - you have to look beside the pothole to miss it.

so ya - these look like they are real

every seen a helmet cam of a guy doing the cop bike trials - they drag both sides all the way around corners, its amazing.

They look real to me, in the second one you can see the camera mounted to the helmet in the shadow's, rider is standing on the pegs in both so yea, they look real.

Neat video. The  helmet is an insert. If you look closely when you see the riders arms, proportionately the helmet isn't where the head should be. Still don't know how they did it. Great riding though.

It's a real video, when I ride dirt bikes my head doesn't move as much as my hands. If it did I'd only get about a mile before my head came off!  The camera and helmet look stationary because they are attached to eachother. The head and camera are moving, but in unison, so the illusion of not moving.
