Default Cool Go Pro Story

Last year at the world's in KW, I purchased a rollbar mount for one of my GoPro's, we attached it to Ryan Beckley's 30 Skater on the Tie Bar, on testing day tuesday, as he needed to break in the motors, as was going to go further north of KW. I thought it would be cool to get some of the footage. well after 2 hours or so, they came back. minus the camera, as the bracket had snapped off. I sent a email to Gopro and they were very will to help replace the camera to say the least, even after I sent pics of the snapped bracket. well the other day I get a message on FB, from a Jarred Uhl asking if I had every been to KW? I replied yes, last Novemeber for the worlds, he then told me he found my GoPro in about 20 ft of water by Ft Zachary Park will diving for lobster! He said it still works and has some cool footage 9 months later!

I hope you have sent this information to Go Pro. Seems as if their equipment is for real. Great story.

Very Cool,, This is the second story I've heard like this - - I believe the other was a surfer video I saw on youtube or from Go-Pro's site
