failure


Failure is obviously a vital part of growth which cannot be avoided by anyone. Failure teaches us what not to do and helps us to optimize in any practice. One personal story I have relating to failure is working out. Working out is a prime example of failure because  that is what one is striving towards while practicing in essence. In order to grow stronger one must tear their muscles until the point of failure. For myself getting back into working out was and still is a very hard task because there is so much failure involved in success, also the failure is something that never actually goes away rather just evolves into other failures. With that being said this also exemplifies just about everything else in life and can be seen as the natural way of progression. If one does not have and failures facing them they must be complacent.

    Hey John,
    I agree with you about working out and its challenges. Recently, I have undertaken the same thing; I am 30 lbs. overweight so my battle is uphill. The reward is so more "rewarding" (lol) when you flounder and fail and then win. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the exercise regiment.

idea napkin 2

My background regarding this idea is that I surf, skate, skim, wakeboard, snowboard etc. It would be a dream come true to see this idea come to fruition one day not only because how cool it would be, but also because the board sport industry would be the ultimate career for me. I am offering an alternative to other existing ways of riding a mountain. This gives riders the ability to experience the slopes in totally new way. I am offering it to snowboarders, particularly snowboarders whom perhaps have a history skateboarding or surfing or both. This product gives rider the ability to free ride in a whole new way. With an electrically paired breaking system the rider is able ride completely free from the board. This board will have a breaking mechanism built in where it can stop itself if the rider goes out of range of the connection.

Solving the problem

The opportunity here is to create an entirely new way to ride the mountains i.e. snowboarding with out binds or any other binding mechanism. The product I am proposing is basically a skateboard deck with more concave on both the nose and tail of the board. The board has potential to have variances depending on the conditions it is meant to be used in. Variances could include things such as groves on the bottom for riding in harder more packed snow such as what you would find at a ski resort or possibly a larger wider board for deep snow that you could find in the back country. The unique aspect of this board would be the breaking mechanism. Basically the idea is to use a traditional ski break system to pair with a Bluetooth device or something of that nature, to where if the board goes out of range of the rider it automatically releases the ski break in turn stopping the board from sliding down the hill.
