About
Spinnax offers skaters the world's first dedicated skateboard motion capturing sensor, the SPINNAX FREAK. Simply mount the sensor on your board, launch the FREAK app, and start skating — no extra help required. The device captures every movement of your skateboard and delivers detailed performance metrics including jump height, distance, and air time for every trick and session. The companion app renders your board's movements in full 3D, allowing you to replay tricks from any angle and even change your perspective mid-playback. All sessions are saved to a personal skate logbook, making it easy to track progression over time with filters to locate specific tricks or sessions quickly. Skaters can share their best tricks with friends and the broader Spinnax community, and an upcoming Game of Skate feature will let users challenge any other SPINNAX FREAK user worldwide. A forthcoming skate-spot discovery feature will help users find the best local parks, rails, and stairsets and see which tricks are being landed there. Spinnax is ideal for dedicated skateboarders who want objective data on their progression, content creators looking for unique trick analytics to share online, and competitive skaters who want to measure and compare performance without relying on a filmer. The hardware sensor pairs with a monthly subscription for full feature access.
