With today's technology (speed radar, GPS, computer recognition) getting only a couple split times for a race against the clock (swimming, skiing, car racing) should be a thing of the past! It should be no problem to calculate the current split time at any given moment and display it continuously on the screen. This would definitely add excitement to many races!

If you take the wheels off of a skate board step onto it then glide on a smooth surface with air holes pushing up strong currents of air you can glide for hundreds of feet with just a slight push of your foot. We could make an indoor or outdoor Air Hockey Type Skate Board Park where we could use any smooth object to safely project ourselves across the smooth surface and use the same construction of an average skate park only this would be more fun, you could go faster and further, and the...

Here in the US before football (not soccer) games, people "tailgate". It's basically barbecuing and drinking in the parking lot of the stadium. People generally bring all of their gear with them. My idea would be to design tailgating oases, where this activity would be encouraged. I imagine an area approximately 30 feet by 40 feet with a couple of trees/landscaping a barbecue grill, tap water, a picnic bench, a coin operated electrical outlet (for music) for each tailgating oasis. These...

When taking a golf lesson, the student can't instantly see himself swing. Video instant replay (if used) is at best from one viewing angle only. The student is usually at a loss to understand what exactly the Pro is talking about. Moreover, the Pro can only view the student from one side. My idea is to create a 3D hologram of the student in action. The student can then "step out of himself" and along with the Pro view the replayed hologram in start stop action. Both the student and the Pro...

A small, individual tent that can be inflated through the use of a foot pump, and a quick release valve for easy deflation. No more wrestling with poles and ties to try to erect your tent. Think of the time this would save. The tent could be made out of a strong material, such as gortex, to help in the prevention of holes or tears. The gortex fabric would also make it weather proof ... no more rain coming in from above. Due to the fact that it is inflatable you would have an instant...

The fact is everyone who plays basketball dreams of dunking a ball. The shoe compromises of a special force triggered spring mechanism which contracts right after activation. How do you activate it? When we jump, the force we apply towards the ground is much harder than when we are running or moving about. If you look at MJ when he takes off, he literally slams his foot into the ground, that force downwards allows him to go upwards. So when you slam your foot onto the ground,...

A video game like playstation 2 only you would have wrist bands, ancle bands and a waist band that responds to the video game. I think, with technology the way it is so advanced today, you could probably make the bands like a remote control with an invisible laser that is directed toward the TV or the game box. So, instead of being a couch potatoe you are actually getting exercise. If the game requires you to run, you would actually have to jog in place to get it to run or walk.You could...

With all of the Hi-Tech gaming systems out there, and so many exercise gadgets, it's a wonder to me that nobody has combined them. I would like to see a peice of exercise equipment that would challenge me mentally and physically, as well as alow me to compete with other users, even if they are in another part of the world. I believe that this would motivate a lot of people who would otherwise never exercise to get busy. I believe that the sheer boredom of repetitons on a weight...

It is football with hockey equipment, without the skates. Played in snow, there is an area of tightly packed snow in the middle and deep snow on the outsides. The same rules as football, no downs or yards. Go until you get a touchdown or there is an intereception, fumble, or kicking the ball. Very fun game.
