Definitely worth buying, IMO it's a must have for anyone who rides dirtbikes or quads who enjoys making videos.

The GoPro Hero Wide Motorsports sells for about $180... with the firmware it comes with it supports up to 2GB cards, but the recently released a new update and now it can support up to 8GB, which is what I am currently using without any problems.

And no, it doesn't come with a memory card.

Here are two videos I've made recently with my Gopro:

Heres one of our riders with a go pro wide. Got it off ebay for 140 with everything. Make sure you get a motosports hero and not a helmet hero, helmet is geared more to bicycle and stuff. The HD one puts out a much better video though.

Id suggest investing in good rechargeable battery's for it to and a 4gb card

I purchased the EPIC Camera and I know the website says how good it is but it will not work well under any decent vibration. We mounted on the quad and tried the helmet and as soon as the vibration starts the camera shuts off.
