I am a Skydiver, Mountain Biker and occasionally try to snowboard.

Because of this I have had ideas for a number of projects for these sports.

Firstly I will be building up a serious mountain bike light so I can ride at night and have it almost feel like daylight.
This will be using the same extrusion as the CYC lights, but a large number of 200 lumen LED's and appropriate lenses.
20,000 lumens anyone?

Next will be a skydiving special data logger targeted at speed skydiving to help achieve the best body position so that maximum speeds can be obtained.
This will have a heads up display as visual information and warning system to help me get a better body position, and know when to slow down and open my parachute!

I am hoping to make it to the 2012 or 2013 world champs in Europe so I can at least break the New Zealand record.. and have a shot at the world record.
My current personal best is 297MPH / 477KMPH freefall speed for about 1200 feet
Current world record is about 310MPH / 500KMPH freefall speed average for 3000 feet.


These projects will be developed after the LED Lighting.

Do not expect to see anything before 2012, apart from the bike light, I need that sooner, as its way to hot to ride during the summer daytime here in Arizona!
