To all the TS geeks out there, I made a group for snowboard forum users. I have the awesomely original name of SBF if you search for it and location of Portland, OR. We can stalk, er I mean follow, challenge, and see one another's stats. I think we can do competitions, but I'm not quite sure how it works, yet.

Looking forward to kicking everyone's ass on there! :rofl4: joking of course!

Hmmm... no hit with "SBF" :whaa:

I just joined up.

No idea how to do it on the phone app (or if you can), but it was very easy to do it online.

I'm Jake B. and my home mountain is technically Wachusett in MA, though I go to Mount Snow more than I do Wachusett. I have only used the Trace app once so far. I'll be heading out tomorrow though and I'll use it tomorrow as well.

I think you have to get online to see everything as far as I can tell. Would be more convenient if you could view in the ap though.

I love that people are joining the group!

How much can you actually see online also? I went in and filled in some profile information for myself, but when I clicked on a couple of other people's profiles, the info you can see is very minimal. Perhaps the "weight" category is used to measure the calories you burn?

I certainly don't have the top speed or anything, but I might have the highest weight. :laughat:

Group seems to be filling up fast, looks like it's already one of the largest!

Jcb you want to start it before you head up the lift. Like while you're at the ticket window or something. It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that it pulls your vertical drop info from when you're going up. Somehow I always manage to forget to start it and remember on my second time up the lift.

Yeah I just kept forgetting to do it. Doesn't the app say to start the session when you are getting on the lift? Last time out I just kept letting it run since there were almost no lift lines. But, I think you're supposed to pause during waiting in line at the lift and have it running while going up on the chair. Right?

I'll be logging some more data tomorrow :)

It's not always 100% accurate, most notably being the jumps.

My friends and I aren't park rats and by no means getting huge air on any jumps, however whatever algorithm is used to calculate a jump isn't always consistent.

I've been on runs, where I didn't even do a little bunny hop and it recorded a jump(s) and I've been through mini-parks with a handful of small kickers and the app wouldn't register a jump.

That being said, Trace is the best free app, imo.

You get extra features with the pay version, however not sure how much more accurate the data collection would be.

The best the mobile app will do for viewing the group is when viewing the leaderboards is to set the filters to "worldwide" and "following". Unless you're following a ton of people outside the group, that should work ok.

Really hating this app !

Error: Oops! It looks like you haven't uploaded any data! As such we can't show you any statistics. You can take a look at others' stats by using the search bar at the top of the page or you can upload some files and let us get to work analyzing every last bit of detail. Thanks!

yet I have 4 sessions loaded. Also when I go to the trace page then "me" I get that stupid video not my dashboard even when I click on dashboard it keeps that stupid video up.

Any clue my failure other than technology....

Cool, not sure if i will remember to log in though...!

Hmmm... first day used. Really miss the slope angle info :dry:
 
#41 ·
I have the trace device and it just automatically upgraded me to premium. The most I've noticed are the additional medals and I can see my slope angle now, which is fun.

As far as jumps go, in my experience it varies by phone. I've gone through a few phones and I was infuriated it wouldn't pick jumps up but different phones I killed it in jumps. Now that I have the trace device I don't have to worry about it or battery life thank God. I have however been screwed because it won't upload data properly unless I'm on my home Wi-Fi.

The ap has it's ups and downs but I can't seem to stop using it:)

Another thing be mindful of using the music, other aps, camera etc can interfere with recording for some phones. Also keeping the phone in a secure pocket where it isn't sloshing around.

Like Deacon said, just hit record as your're walking to the lift. :)

Lastly, Android phones have the recover lost data option for people who lose data sometimes.

Slyder, did you get your account straightened out?

Yes and no Some how I started 2 accounts as Deacon pointed out. My one is tracking my runs the one on the group is not. I emailed Trace to delete the bad account. So you may see me disappear from the SBF group temporarily. Hoping they get if fixed soon, but I'm still able to log my session so that keeps me happy.

The app works well with my android, also if logging multiple times a day.

Pity that it doesn't record the weather if my homeresort... thus sorry guys, I've to add conditions in comments to keep track of them.

BTW: Very surprised that it's capable to register my mini jumps (hops).
