Doesn't have to be on an M but anyone have any creative ways and spots on the sled to mount a GoPro? especially to get the good perspective of a hill climb.

The best perspective I've found for hillclimbing is on the front of the hood down low. Gives a decent view on the steepness. It doesn't work so great when you are in the deep pow though.
You can also use the suction mount on the side of your hood if you trust it enough to stay on. Another reasonable view is with the chest mount. I also like to wear the chest mount backwards from time to time while climbing. It's a cool view too. Here's a vid climbing while wearing it backwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-GlAA4Sf6A
You can see my front mount on the hood in this pic.
Nice vids! I thought about using the suction on the tunnel pointing backwards but thought of it an hour ago lol
With the mount on the hood, do you get camera shake from vibrations?
Couple different angles in this vid

All done with the suction mount. I think when it's mounted on the hood facing forward it makes everything pretty flat. I think helmet or chest mount would work better for forward facing perspective.

Best angle for hill climbing is on the hood with the suction cup mount. Next best place for riders veiw is on the chin gaurd of your motocross hemet. Whip up a cardboard prototype and take it to a local sheet metal shop. Something like 18-16 gauge aluminum works well. Don't use fancy diamond plate or the Go Pro flat mount won't stick to the whole surface. Plus the camera is easy to see the shutter button, and it's out of your way of sight.
I have one I made out of a plastic hand clamp, a tripod mount and a bolt for about 5 bucks. Mounts to the front bumper, rear bumper, and any place I can clamps it too. I also made a leash out of a trade show badge lanyard.
It wasn't mine but I'm pretty sure its the go pro hero hd and I was shooting in 720p. All I kmow is that some of those hills are pretty steep in the beginning of my video but it looks like I'm meadow mashing.
