style is opinion based. but making sure you carve well and take off correctly and position correctly on rails isnt a bad thing.

this looks like an interesting product.

I could see this encouraging me to get sendy.


"Ski faster you pussy."

"French fry, pizza, french fry, PIZZA, PIIIIZZZZAAA, FUCK!"

"Hey checkout that ski bunny, ask her if she'll lip slide your rail if you nose press her box."

"Get out of the back seat, Jerry."

This is cool.
And it passed its goal on kickstarter.

I could use this on the Heartcarve custom piste to count turns.

F*** yes: that's going to be much easier than holding a clicker or using a sensored line to count turns.

I might even wear a sensor on the head or neck to measure upper body angulation... so tons of new metrics to use for ranking piste performance

Cool idea I guess, but having to stick a chip in your boot is a terrible, terrible design.

Even worse. I want as little in my boots besides my feet as possible, and definitely not an entire second insole that's a whole millimeter thick

I think it brings usable, meaningful information AND improves your skiing (making you feel better) then it is good. I wonder how much ski background the founders have.
