As a fanatic snowboarder, this Flaik armband will record the height, altitude, and other cool data of your snowboard jumps. Way cool duude!

This will be great too for snowboarding outside the resort limits in case you get lost.

The product, Flaik, is a performance tracking device for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts.

Flaik combines global positioning satellite (GPS) smarts with GSM/GPRS mobile phone technology.

The GPS part charts a user’s location, speed, distance, altitude and airtime (for jumps).

The mobile phone part of the system sends this data to a receiver on the snowfield and on to the Flaik web portal, www.flaik.com, where users can view their data, compare statistics with other users, and build a profile.

It will be attractive to competitive people who want to bore their friends silly boasting about how fast they are.
