Shawn Richman Rules lol!!
That was Shawn rocking out!! I have been speaking with Shawn on a regular basis for a long time and he has dramatically influenced my riding and style. Its amazing how much a good mentor can give you even through discussion. But this tool looks pretty cool to be able to play it back. The only thing is I would want to see it beside the video as it is here.
I will have to ask Shawn more about it cause last I saw this gadget I assumed it was to test the RRD Poison LTD that he had as a proto.

Whats up guys?
Hey Everyone!
Dropping by to say hi and tell you that the Shadow Box is a super cool little device. This was shot late summer last year when they were still all in the prototyping stage. It was awesome to ride and help them a bit. I topped out a bunch of the readings after a few tries and they had to go back and redo some of the programming.
I really enjoyed having this thing on my board that told me all kinds of statistics about my riding. I could figure out how high I was jumping, how long I was airborne, and then how fast i was moving or what direction my board was pointed, for rotations. i quickly found myself wanting to come in after a trick and see it on the computer program.
Definitely a great training tool, makes you push yourself wayyy harder as now you have something telling you how much you suck and that you dont just jump 50 feet all day. But when you do get some great jumps its awesome to have proof.
Anyway, I hope you guys are all great up in the North East and are starting to get some riding in. Johnny has been pushing me for awhile to come out and ride with all of you, hopefully I can find the time soon.
Till then, enjoy all the awesome gear that I have sent Johnny and I will keep in touch!
Cheers,
