Regarding a post someone placed several months ago regarding Helmet Cameras for downhill and extreme use.
Finding a good Helmet Camera was not easy as there are many retailers out there which offer various set ups. I have tried 4 of the most popular and ended up having to return them as they just did not have the quality or durability. Some had no or awful mono sound.

My current cam I purchased three months ago from Adrenaline Systems. These guys offered great customer service and their product has stood up to the abuse, including 3 really bad spills.
The camera is easy to set up, just connect it to your Camcorder or DVR and you are ready to go. My system cam with a battery pack, but for extended use I would recommend getting their Power Pack Pro which is super light and adds about 8 hours of operation time. What I liked most is that the battery has a switch you can turn off manually without having to disconect the wiring.

You can find the camera which I purchased at the following url:

So far so good. I will post with any other details.

i'm using vholdr from twenty20, great and user-friendly. very lightweight and wireless. of course we'll always have issues with battery run times because they mad e it so compact, but the footages i took were great.

well you don't really want to worry about your digicam falling in the middle of the action... helmet cameras are great, although don't own one. besides its great to play with it, you get to keep the memories too..

how big is a digicam? and how rough is the terrain? you dont want to let the cam fall and break in the middle of a downhill trail.. there are lots out there, just pay attention to the specs of the product, such as battery life, functionality and warranty.

I agree with Rowena, Vholdr is definitely the best thing out there. I got mine a few months ago and its been awesome. So easy to use and lightweight. And it shoots in HD so your videos will be really clear, which is rare when you're riding and bumping all over the place.

I would highly recommend checking out a Tachyon XC (tachyoninc.com)
Very good price and a lot of great values -
pros-
Takes up to a 32GB card
shock proof battery system
remote control
completely waterproof
12 hrs battery life

cons-
poor sound
sometimes hard to push start/stop button (good reason to use remote)
handlebar mount doesnt hold well
no rechargeable batteries ( i think the new model has a rechargeable battery option)
