Location, acceleration, speed, velocity, altitude, air time, number of jumps, and pedal count can all be measured. Following the run, Ripxx software enables the athlete to view his or her performance and results. Carr has been training with the Ripxx for only a short while, but has seen nothing but positive results.
When commenting on the Ripxx device Carr said: “I’ve only been able to use it for a few days, but I really like it so far. I think it is really interesting and useful for my training. I can’t wait to get the new software downloaded to my Mac.” Ripxx recently announced the release of its Suite 2.1 software upgrade that has full Mac support, along with countless other improvements.
“We developed the Ripxx so serious BMXers and other outdoor sports athletes could improve their performances,” said Dr. Kurt Nichol, lead scientist and president of Ripxx, Inc. While not everyone can be a sponsored athlete, anybody can train like one. Anyone can strap on a Ripxx device and record, save and share their runs with friends. Whether the Ripxx is used for training, or just bragging rights, this device is a sure-shot to make athletes better.
Ripxx would like to welcome Amanda Carr to its BMX team. “This young lady has the determination it takes to be a part of our team, and we are proud to have her wearing the Rippx logo,” Nichol said when commenting on Carr.
