GOPRO 960?

I want to make a movie for this summer and decided the GoPRO960 would be good considering it's cheap price and I've heard a lot about it being good.
One problem is that I'm not planning on recording it all from first person, or on the actual wakeboarder/skiier.
If i use the headmount and just look at what i want to record, would it be a accurate depiction of what i want to record? are there any other ways you guys think i could do this?
Thanks for the help!

It's going to be REALLY difficult. You'd have to get your head pretty close to whatever your're filming, you really can't do anything much from a distance with that camera.

hmm, alright, thanks.
can anyone recommend a good waterproof HD camera for under or around $200?

Goosage, they have the new lcd screens that go on then now so you can see what your shooting.

what if me and my brother went doubles and he used the headstrap? to film next to me?
is the headstrap sturdy enough or should i rig something up so it won't fall off?
