switch armband
..because they'll never know you're riding switch if you don't advertise | |
I am in the process of learning
to
snowboard backwards ("switch") and
I
spend a lot of time going slow or
unexpectedly catching an edge and
wiping out. Due to my unstable
disposition when riding switch, I
would like to be able to warn people
near me so that they give me a tad
more
space.
The simple solution- an
orange
reflective armband with "switch"
written on it. A goofy-footed
person
like me would put it on their right
arm, which would be the trailing
arm
when they're riding switch. This
would make that fact obvious to
people
behind you.
More advanced snowboarders might
still find the armband useful
because
then they would be able to let
everyone know that the fatass 360
they just spun was actually a fatass
*switch* 360. Of course, they'd be
on
the honor system when it comes to
putting the band on the correct arm.
Also, pros could be required to
wear
the bands at competitions so that
the
judges and spectators have an
easier
time determining whether a move
was done switch or not.

People will not be able to see the armband at night or in fog. You will have to add a reflective hat with bells on it. |

that is an awesome idea. but the armband would need to come in a variety of styles to ensure universal appeal.
Black leather with big studs spelling out "switch".
Neon Pink Spandex.
Urban Camo. |

Just get Nite Ize to make these, and integrate their LED
bands that are already used for night sport visibility [links] |

Why in the name of all cods would someone want to
snowboard backwards? Much easier to run the GoPro footage
in reverse. |

He's too busy writing books and being dead and stuff. |

Because snowboarders have no capability for rational, analytical thought. If they did, they'd espouse a less antisocial alpine sport, like sniping, or triggering avalanches and rockslides. |
