Hey fellas. Working with a couple other riders looking to make a cool product. It's a beat maker that syncs up with your moves as you ride. Stoked to hear what you guys think? Still in the works - here's a demo video on a balance board:

This looks really sick, Definitely has potential! Patent it if you haven't already.

If I actually listened to music while skiing, this would probably be dope as fuck.

BoardSideDown, thanks for the props man! Good look on the patent, it's at patent pending status. Still a lot of improvements to be made though.

SkierLou, thanks for your question man. We tested it on skis three weeks ago at Liberty, VA and were stoked, found out it worked. Way more fun on skis than b-boarding gotta say.

With improvements and added customization this could be entertaining. Definitely would get boring unless unlimited customization was added

I agree.

make it blue tooth, and compatible with an app, to change themes and genres for park, groomers, and pow when your on the mountain. Good luck guys!

I love how when you hit a jump the music will stop while you're in the air and then pick back up when you land. I bet it would feel like you were skiing in a nicely edited video for the whole run.

This idea is actually pretty awesome.

Aha, music slows down, that god damn camera whirring sound picks up. That would be sick. Cool stuff OP!

Thanks Cory, that's a great point. More customization definitely sounds like the way to go.
