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:

  1. Ski – Directly attached to the ski base to measure raw terrain impact forces.

  2. ShredShox Platform – Mounted to capture forces after suspension absorption.

• Ski Setup: ShredShox mounted to 100/180 Atomic Bent Chetler skis.

Key Metrics Collected:

1. Performance Data:

   • Max Speed: 35 MPH.

   • Average Heart Rate: 103 BPM.

   • Max Heart Rate: 162 BPM.

2. 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.

3. 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.
