Abstract

The invention detects the loft time, speed, power and/or drop distance of a vehicle, such as a sporting vehicle, during activities of moving and jumping. A loft sensor (14b) detects when the vehicle leaves the ground and when the vehicle returns to the ground. A controller subsystem (12) converts the sensed information to determine a loft time. A display (52) shows the recorded loft time to a user of the system. In addition, a speed sensor (14a) can detect the vehicle's speed for selective display to the user. A power sensing section (14d) informs the user of expended energy, which can be compared to other users. A drop distance sensing unit (14c) informs the user of the peak height of a jump, during an airtime. Gaming on the internet (84) is facilitated to connect worldwide sport enthusiasts.
