connected with a small tiny microcontroller that allows in real-time transmit
data to the application on a smartphone.
The application analyzes data such as speed, altitude, and rotation of board and converts to
in advance prepared tricks. The athlete is able to overview all tricks and performance on smartphone and get notification into wearable gadget such as Galaxy Watch and make better each trick.
