One issue I've noticed with the GoPro army as a quad-bike rider is the increasing amount of high-speed riders on the trails. At the sand dunes I don't have as much of a problem with it (although not watching over your hills is another issue), but on tight trails with people looking to get that perfect YouTube shot it can be deadly. I don't ride with a GoPro, but I pull over for those who do quite often.
There's nothing wrong with GoPro, and I would have one if I could justify the cost at this point. Idiots will be idiots, the real issue is they now have an audience larger than the other people on the trail. I'd love to see public trails go camera-free just because (in my anecdotal experience) a small but significant minority of riders lose all sense when the reward of a million views is dangling over their head.
