There is one of them in every group. A friend that thinks they are the world’s gift to the action sport industry. No matter what trick you do – he can do it better, higher and faster. Now there’s a way to put an end to his trash talk – or at least challenge his bragging rights. So next time your friend claims to defy gravity, strap a HangTimer to him and see if he can really walk the walk.
HangTimer is a new multifunction sports watch designed to measure the amount of time you’re airborne to the tenth of a second. Other features include a history of your last 10 jumps, best hangtime, average hangtime, and a sensitivity setting to adjust for your sport (snowboarding-summer, skateboarding-winter).
It can be worn anywhere on your body and is shockproof and water resistant up to 3 meters. It records your ten best hangtimes; displays best hangtime, total accumulated hangtime, and average hangtime; five sensitivity settings (from 0.25 to 2 seconds); a built in tri-axis accelerometer; and displays the time, date, temperature, and lap time.
