The App includes a number of major features, including:

* Add your own spots
* Post sessions - rate the conditions, include a comment,

share who else was there and add photos to keep a history and track your progression
* The Android version allows users to record sessions as they happen, as well as tracking top speed, average speed and hang-time
* Before heading out - check the weather, get directions, browse reviews, conditions and photos
* Create a personal spot map of your favorite spots & shops to share with friends

Currently, selected racers are posting their updates, sessions and photos for everyone to follow and stay connected.
