What is a good, CHEAP alternative to the GO PRO action camera?

I'd like to get my boyfriend an action camera for Christmas. He's always talking about how cool GO PRO cameras are and he's always looking up 4 wheeling videos on youtube, but there's no way I'm willing to pay $199 for the cheapest GO PRO model. My budget is below $100, preferably $50. He'd mainly use the action camera while riding his 4 wheeler or dirt bike, so a camera that could easily mount to one of those or a helmet for one of those would be best (not one that only mounts to a belt, bike, bike helmet, etc). I'm pretty ignorant in this area, so any helpful suggestions or reviews would be greatly appreciated :)

Answer
There is nothing for $50 that will provide what the GoPros will provide. Your question is like, "I want a new Cadillac CTS at $40,000, but I can pay $10,000 for it. That's difficult to do.

Assuming what you are looking for is an "action cam", just do a search using that term. I found a couple that can be mounted to various items. The question is whether any will hold up to use under "action" conditions. This "ruggedness" in the design is what contributes to the GoPro cost. The upside with the low-end cheap cameras is when they break, they are not expensive to replace...

Answer
I think your answer may lie in the Fire/EMS area: The Firefighter Helmet Cam.

Below are a couple of links to what's available out there.

I have no experience with any of these, but am considering one myself. I'll let you know.
