Just a thought I've always had about these is that it would be cool if the front and rear had a slot for a GoPro camera option, so that you have vids of each trip, and evidence of anything goes awry

Can't you just use a GoPro Session with their flat adhesive mount? I never used it so I don't know, but seems as though it could work.

The whole deck (top) of the board is grip tape which is a glue paper covered in sand, so almost nothing will stick to the pebbled surface. A company makes an aluminum mount but skateboards rattle like mad and like to destroy mounted electronics eventually.

In my experience, the vibrations on the board are far too strong to get any type of decent video while riding down the road. Always comes out looking extremely shaky.

A shaky looking video might be useless as entertainment but still may have forensic value in the event of a crash / etc.
