Just cuz it can... doesnt mean u have to put it in the most awkward spot.
its all about showing what you are doing, or your pov.  get into the crazy angles when u wanna show something special, like your facial expression when you stomp or ur skis when you ski when you ski cool things.
but the classic helmet mount is great.
pole mount for filming.
and really, the people who get amazing crazy mounts... then go ski a groomer. like thats cool n all, btu lame as fuck.
ill do the over head mount for skiing in the trees, or the ski mount when i hit a jump line and get a cool angle. its all about matching the mount for the type of filming and what u wanna show.
carry on
