Freelap Timing Coming To
America
March 4, 2008
Train Faster. Race
Faster!
March 4, 2008 (Vernon, New Jersey)- TerraLogic Park Industries, operators of Diablo Freeride Park in
Vernon, New Jersey, announced today that they have entered into a strategic
partnership with Swiss timing innovators, Freelap SA to be the United States
distributor of the unique Freelap product line.
Creating a whirlwind in
competitive cycling and motocross disciplines around the globe, the Freelap
Timing System is hailed by many as an innovative tool that is revolutionizing
performance training in timed-events such as cycling, motocross, track and
field, among many others. Developed in Switzerland, Freelap technology allows
athletes to accurately measure their personal performance progress without the
need of complex and expensive timing equipment.
Available for the first
time in the United States, the unique Freelap Timing System consists of a
stopwatch that has a start, stop and lap time function, triggered 'hands-free'
by wireless transmitters. Depending on the type of sport or application, the
transmitters can be placed anywhere, anytime at your discretion providing an
incredibly portable, accurate and affordable timing method for today's
up-and-coming athlete.
Often in the sport of competitive downhill racing,
the smoothest or straightest line is not necessarily the fastest overall run.
"Without actually measuring your training runs and tracking your progress on a
regular basis, it can be difficult to progress as an athlete in a
timed-discipline sport" said Shawn Orecchio of TerraLogic Park Industries. With
the Freelap system, racers can use this technology at their favorite bikepark,
local trails or anywhere in between without the hassle of carrying an oversized,
cumbersome timing system. Measuring less than 13 inches tall the Freelap
JuniorTX transmitters can be carried in a backpack to the training location of
your choice!
The Freelap JuniorTX package which consists of the Freelap
stopwatch and two portable, wireless transmitters will be offered in the United
States for only $429. Freelap components such as stopwatches can also be
purchased separately since an unlimited number of racers can train on-course
using the same transmitters simultaneously. The simplistic and accurate design
of the Freelap system provides the ultimate training tool for your race team or
club!
As America's leading bike park, Diablo Freeride Park will continue
the tradition as an innovator by offering Freelap Technology on a permanent
basis on a large sampling of bike trails for the 2008 season. Freelap
Technology will come to life at Diablo this summer and our customers will have
the unique and exciting opportunity to sample this affordable technology
firsthand, said Orecchio. Diablo will be providing this season-long timing
system on many of our existing trails, in addition to some new trail concepts we
are working on Our customers should expect to see Freelap playing a major role
in our day-to-day operations. If you are serious about racing and are not
currently using Freelap Technology, you are training in the dark and not
reaching your true potential as an athlete. Train faster, race
faster!
