Hey guys do you guys remember that system form Air Gear that told other riders you skill level R.E.A.D. well nike new line of shoes the nike+ have a small sensor that recoders how every how high you jump how many steps you have taken how far you have gone and i think we can make it work like the R.E.A.D system form the anime. what do you guys think? it well take some time but i think it would be Awesome!

Well, I think that this is an interesting thing. The only thing is, first off that's a nike specific thing, right? Secondly, there would have to be some major modification in the programming to accomodate skates. We could count speed, I suppose, but I don't see how we'd be able to account for tricks with it. There's a lot we'd need to figure out, but I do like the idea! Thanks for bringing this up, Wolf!~

The other thing I found is that there are smart phone apps that measure jump height, speed, and steps and stuff too. But it would be really cool to have it in our skates!

yea i know it would need some modification in the programming. but i think it's possible and the trick thing in the anime it didn't keep track of tricks it just showed you mix speed, hight jumped, legth of jump.

In Air gear, both manga and anime, it also measured how many tricks you've done, and what level they were. That's what I was referring to.

It also what tricks you are capable of... we would need to figure out a way to link the boot chip to a phone app that would bring up everyone's individual profile on R.E.A.D.
which means we would have to have our own website... PWN.eu or something like that, that would have everyone's profile, team profiles, trick passes etc there for everyone to see haha

i suggest that some one talk to nike and tell them the idea so they can sponser us and we can offer some skaters to test out the READ prototype and as they sponser us we can get money so we can make parts war merchandise to help publisize parts war network and plus i heard they make skates to..........just saying ( )

Okay guys, gotta say a few things. First off, the closest thing we could do to pull off an app that could display a rider's stats would be something that would recognize an emblem and pull up their profile post information on the forums. If you notice, we keep track of a lot of stuff. Your profile post hast your name, emblem, members, wins, losses and parts available/requested. We can keep track of your tricks via trick submissions in your road's board. We could accommodate a place for trick submissions in the profile post later. :] I imagine it would be hard to make this app track the distance you skate, since someone could just turn it on and drive in a car and record their speed/distance. But actually physically modifying the boots or skates would cost money we don't have. To be honest, if we did have it, we'd probably invest in making the site better and easier to use or hosting some sort of event. I like the idea of a PWN app that could "READ" emblems. I see it now: You see a sticker on something while your riding along. You scan it with your phone. It runs a search within all of the PWN and brings up that team or rider's profile information from the site. That's cool and easier to pull off at this time.

I do like that idea. And, we could work out a way to incorporate that, I think...

I know its not impossible. Never said it was. I'm just saying it'd be a lot easier to find a way to make this with the tools currently at our disposal rather than asking someone else. I mean, if you or your contacts can get Nike to help you find a way to incorporate their technology into something other than their shoes, such as skates, without paying them, uness you or your contacts can supply the funding, go for it. Till then, the only way to go would be to use the resources we already have available. I like the ideas where not much waiting is required, and waiting for some sort of apparatus you attach to your skate to allow the READ to work will take way too long, let a lone the wait for skates with this mechanism built in. Even then, if those skates couldn't fulfill my road's needs, I'm not interested and would stick with my current set up. XD I'm not trying to burst any bubbles. Like I said, if you really can get them to do that, go for it. I just think time spent waiting could be invested into something more productive. But yeah, if anyone has any app developing experience, let us know. :]

this seems like a really great idea but honestly sounds nearly impossible
