I know that it is stupid expensive but would be sic to have. You can always find a way to use it to make you faster.
Buy it dude.
Or I will buy your watch and buy one myself. It just needs to be about $100 cheaper.

That things awesome!
Diablo is putting them on all the trails?? That's awesome, you guys are lucky.
I used them for a day, they're fun... they make otherwise boring trails a good time.
I almost bought a set, but was too expensive for something you have to abandon at the top and bottom of the trail. If they were half the price I would have bought them on the spot.

we use them every time we go out riding here, it is quite an awesome system, it can turn a 20 second trail into something totally amazing and different.
At race weekends as well you can kind of assess how fast you are going, and where you are losing time, if you have more than two poles so you can set up splits.
They are pretty expensive but totally worth it IMO...

I have one. They work perfectly! We have had few local races on them and I think there isn't much easier way to have timed runs in small races.
Basicly it works like this:
Every driver has a watch, the time is saved to the watch. The poles only gives signal, there is no "intelligence" in them. One pole to start, One to finish and as many splits as u want.
First you go near to the start pole and push start on the watch. It shows that you are now in a start mode. After you leave the first pole, time starts by itself and when you go through splits watch saves times. The finish is like split, but after it you just push stop-button on watch and you get total time from the first pole to the last split (the finish).
You can save something like 64 runs and 2000 splits in memory and there is some kind of link, which you can use to download times to computer. AND they also have cordless speed-sensor for your front or rear wheel.
Only downside is that you can't gather times on fly. You have to download them through the link (I think you have to remove the watch from your wrist) or write them down manually.

Anyone have a set they want to sell for cheap?
