    Continuing the conversation from this video comments thread.

    That's awesome. We started tracking out lap times at CycloPark yesterday.

    I'm going to put together a league section of the website where we can add tracks from around the world then post up our times recorded from events at the various tracks for riders on different boards.

    That way as a rider you can visit any track around the world and visit an event day and record your scores competing with someone else using the same equipment who may have raced the track earlier in the season.

    For example, we had a few of the French contingent over this weekend racing and their times were recorded, but then if anyone else wants to travel over and try and beat the scores on the same track with the same gear then it's fair game.

    What do you think?

    @Andy we've got to find a GoKart track that will let us on! This looks like so much fun, and no rocks to throw you off :see_no_evil: (just metal barriers :p)

    Ha I already approached all the ones near us last year when wasn't wet and cold out, the all wanted big bucks for it! Think cheapest was £900!! :mad:

    That seems a bit high. Fine if you get 50-100 people showing up perhaps.

    How much was it for you guys @W.Jordan?

    We paid $55 each for 2 rounds of Go-karting and three skate sessions on the night - was awesome - Nice footage Warren!

    That's a good shout, getting some go karting in at the same time. Makes it easier to justify the higher price.

    Yeah they were high powered Electric Karts too, so they loved the idea of our boards out there too

    Oh nice, that's even cooler. How fast could they go?

    I'm not sure of the Kart speeds, they use 4kw motors and had to be dialed back. They send you emails with all of your race stats which was cool too, and there are chips that the karts use to tracking lap data,... which we can tap into next time we race, so we will get everyones stats :)

    Sounds like a great facility.

    I came across a site yesterday when looking for a video recording app that will overlay your speed and gps stats. Found this one where it claims to be able to record your times as you race laps on a course.

    TrackAddict for iOS & Android by HP Tuners

    Might give it a go next time we do some outdoor races to see if the lap data is any good.

    If not, I imagine there's probably some kits you can get where you setup a start and finish gate sensor and attach a tracker to the competitor. Probably more reliable than a stop watch.

    Something like that would be really handy if you're able to bring it with you to any track.

    oh yeah we looked into phone tracking, but there are much better ways that are very accurate, phone apps cant track that well

    Alex Admin

    Yeah, I have my doubts about how accurate an app could be. Might be alright for much longer tracks that are many minutes long.

    When you're competing for millisecond positions though we'll probably needs something specifically designed for that.
