“Yamaha is excited to offer a free HD HERO2
camera to ATV customers in 2012 through this new
promotion with GoPro,” said Steve Nessl,
Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group marketing manager.
“We’ve used the HERO cameras on motocross
tracks, on trail rides, in the sand dunes and
even when out hunting. It’s a great
camera, and we expect this will be an exciting
offer for motorsports and outdoor enthusiasts
alike.”
The HD HERO2 camera can be worn or mounted on
just about anything utilizing GoPro’s numerous
mounts and accessories. This versatility
matches well with Yamaha’s wide ranging ATVs,
from the highest-performance sports ATVs to the
most durable and off-road capable utility 4x4
models.

while racing his YFZ450R to a record fifth
championship in the 2011 motocross season (http://www.youtube.com/user/quadXracing?feature=watch),

"The versatility of the HERO cameras, and the
quality that the GoPro brand represents, make
this a great fit for Yamaha’s ATV customers,”
Nessl said. “Yamaha produces the most
high-performance, toughest and off-road capable
vehicles, and is an avid supporter of the many
lifestyles in which our products are used.
This new GoPro promotion is another example of
how Yamaha is supporting our customers’
lifestyles and exceeding their expectations.”
