Ok I'm going to keep this short.
The camera was easy to set up and get going, it's super light so attaching it to a helmet or a bike would have been no problem.
Unfortunately about 20 minutes into using the Go Pro Hero3 SILVER it froze and could not be reset, at the time we were in the middle of a demo on the Vert ramp so did not have the time to open up the casing and mess around pulling the battery out and get it reset! A bit frustrating and I did not test the camera any further, I will be testing it again and trying different settings. Overall the quality of the footage was excellent and I was happy with the results.
The jury is out on the build quality of the new Go Pro Hero3 after the problems that I experienced.
I'm gonna carry on testing for the next week or so and see if it was a glitch that has gone away.
In the mean time here is the footage that I was able to get on the day of the Vans Warped Tour London.
