Performance Analysis: December 28th
ShredShox Data Collection Brief
Objective:
To quantify the performance of the ShredShox full-suspension ski platform in reducing impact forces during skiing, using precision measurements from WIT Motion accelerometers mounted on both the ski and the ShredShox platform.
Equipment & Setup:
Accelerometers: WIT Motion units capable of capturing high-frequency impact data.
Mounting Locations:
Ski – Directly attached to the ski base to measure raw terrain impact forces.
ShredShox Platform – Mounted to capture forces after suspension absorption.
Ski Setup: ShredShox mounted to 100/180 Atomic Bent Chetler skis.
Key Metrics Collected:
Performance Data:
Max Speed: 35 MPH.
Average Heart Rate: 103 BPM.
Max Heart Rate: 162 BPM.
Force Reduction:
Average Reduction: 85.1% decrease in impact force when using the ShredShox platform.
Max Reduction: 1189%, showcasing the platform's effectiveness in extreme impact scenarios.
Terrain Coverage:
Locations: Sundown Bowl, Blue Sky Basin, and Frontside Vail.
Conditions: Mixed terrain including powder, crud, groomed runs, and chop.
Findings:
Impact Absorption: The ShredShox platform consistently demonstrated superior impact reduction, significantly improving skier comfort and control in diverse conditions.
Skiability: Reduced force translated into decreased physical strain, as evidenced by lower average heart rates and improved performance sustainability.
Conclusion:
This data validates ShredShox as the only full-suspension ski platform capable of reducing skier impact forces by an average of 85.1% and a maximum of 1189%. These findings highlight its revolutionary potential for improving the skiing experience across varied terrain.
