European x games winning jump

At the games, he earned gold in snowmobile freestyle and silver in snowmobile best trick. Levi LaVallee, who holds the world record for snowmobile distance jumping, won the X Games gold in snowmobile long jump with a leap of ft. Freestyle gold medalist Colten Moore won his second medal of the X Games with a third-place, bronze medal-winning jump of ft. LaVallee finished atop the charts in the second round with a leap of ft.

In the semi-finals, he secured a top-two finish with a leap of ft. The distance was outstanding for a jump executed on snow. On dry land, with a longer run-up distance and purpose-built ramp, LaVallee in set the world record for snowmobile distance jumping with a leap of ft.

In the first qualifying heat, Broberg finished second, Pallin was third, and Hayden was sixth, which put all three racers in the final. Kamm won the second heat and was seeded second overall for the final.

Polaris is among the global sales leaders for both snowmobiles and off-road vehicles and has established a presence in the heavyweight cruiser and touring motorcycle market with the Victory and Indian Motorcycle brands. Polaris enhances the riding experience with a complete line of Polaris Engineered parts, accessories, and apparel, Klim branded apparel and ORV accessories under the Kolpin and Cycle Country brands. Polaris Industries Inc. Curie is a pod that captures jump height, jump distance, in-air rotation and impact upon landing.

The contraption, made by Intel, is just 1. Despite its diminutive size, the puck packs in an impressive suite of sensors, including a 9-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, barometer and GPS — plus a built-in MHz radio to beam the stats to ESPN, which owns and broadcasts the games. That first version of the pod was three times larger and heavier than its current iteration.

He traveled That setup had to change for the summer games. But skateboarders are attached to their boards only via gravity and friction, so unobtrusively mounting one was more complicated.

If a skater was rotating in mid-air and did a kickflip at the same time, the pod would report the in-air rotation of the board, but not the skater. Not much chance of riders opting in for that sort of risk. Wade said that he primarily rides by feel but that there are instances in which more information would be a big help in training.

The jump is under-rotated, and you go down hard upon landing. What happened? It can tell you that your rate of spin was degrees per second when you first left the ramp but that it slowed to only 90 degrees per second by the time you landed.

Was it just the friction of the wind that did that? The data looks similar to an EKG readout, displaying the peaks and valleys over time for each metric. So you can line up that graph against the video footage, and look!
