Yep, gotta admit, pretty cool to watch. I wouldn't be caught dead on it, but I know some snowboarders who'd go for it. Their attitude seems to always be, "hey, watch this." An RGB LED-lit board would certainly help them get seen.

Yep. I'm so bad I'd rather everyone ignore me going down the hill. :P

Great, another reason for people to watch me face plant. I'd like to see a pro with that.

I no longer regret my decision (knee-related) to give up snow sports circa 1983.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

Maybe I can get those guys to outline my bumper, windshield, wheels, mirrors, trailer bed, and license plate in that stuff.

Now that would be an application of RGB LEDs that I could endorse.
Do not meddle in the affairs of archers, for they are subtle and you won't hear them coming.

That would be awesome. They could even add an accelerometer - green for acceleration and yellow-to-red for deceleration, white for backing up, blue for stopped... the possibilities are endless.

Also, you can't put a price on the endless fender benders happening all around your vehicle.

What's this? A snowboarder actually going down the hill rather than just sitting around?

Now I've seen everything...
No matter how bad the new homepage sucks or how bungled the new management is...

To all the original writers/contributors and volunteers, please know that I have nothing but the deepest love for you and the work you've done.
