The local helmet cam favourite is HK, and maybe there's some hope of my behind crossing in front of his lens some day...
But the films I keep going back to, even though I'm usually not of the knobbly-tire inclination, are the work of Pete Fagerlin. Maybe you all knew that already. Well, I've watched them before and I'll watch them again. And while there's a certain anti-Colorado bias 'round here do to their constant trumpeting of living in some kind of Bike Capital USA, they've got their fair share of great trails in CO (at least in the summertime).
Personal favourite (though I haven't seen them all): the singletrack in The Flight of Icarus (in PF's Colorado vids section).
Let's keep in mind that video files tend to be quite large...all the better to be viewed using fast internet connections at work, no?
Still, the heights of helmet cam idiocy are well-demonstrated by the "street racing" crowd and its heroes such as "Ghost Rider" or Pascal on La Peripherique. Darwin's got an eye on those boys.

I've starred in the early Fagerlins. Back when his work was more NorCal.
Star of course, in the sense of falling fell in very slow motion over a log and stuff and running when everyone else is riding.
His earlier work was a bit, Kurosawa
we'll let this stay as your own dark little secret--the early film credit from when you were just starting that you don't really want people to find out about...
