i love products that make skiing more dangerous. but on the other hand it will be super badass when you are cruising around and everything looks like a video game.

These are so sick.  It would be dope to review your speeds and heights and everything at the end of the day.

Why would you hate on this that is SOOO ill.
I've always wondered what my speed is when im booking it down a hill or into a jump...

Plus it would help keep me from undershooting or overshooting a jump. Figure out that 40MPH is the speed I need for the jump and just make sure I'm hitting that speed each time

That's the danger. You'll lose concentration, think you're playing Amped 2, and try a double rodeo onto a flat bar.

thatd be dope just to see how fast you can go, how high you are, or how fast you need to hit a jump. they need to make it a full HUD though like im flying a jet, they need more esoteric numbers and letters and shit, and a radar lock-on for jumps and shit. then id buy it

Dude these are kind of sick, imagine how many knee injuries could be prevented from over/under shooting jumps if you knew exactly how much speed you needed and a speedometer in your goggles...

pretty sick the part i hadnt thought of was that you can look at all the info like on the chair or at the end of the day for fun. would be pretty cool to see your biggest hit (air time) and of course the speed thing would be rad.

or you could just carry a GPS with you and see your top speed at the end of every run, or alltime top speed at the end of the day.

That is fucking crazy!

I was just watching my buddy play ODST, and you know how the VISR thing outlines objects?
I think that'll be really cool if it could happen, I mean it would help so much on flat light days

Buddy tracking would be really cool too, because you wouldn't have to wait half an hour at the bottom of the run waiting for your friend then finding out he was waiting for you in the lift line

Lots of potential with this thing, without going all video game-y and be considered "cheating"
