Bob, I tried snowboarding a couple of years ago and last winter took some training at Hyland Hills. It's a lot of fun but... cross-country mountain biking is MORE fun. If you want an example of how what you're trying to do is done in the mountain biking community check out: http://morcmtb.org/morcpages/multimedia.htm. They use Bulletcam which musn't be very expensive 'cause someone got one of those as swag at a recent race. Check out www.bulletcam.com. They have video on their page too: http://www.bulletcam.com/videoclips/uvs030530-002.MPG I don't know if any of the equiment is Linux compatible though.
