Linerider Shredding

Hopefully, many of you will be fortunate enough to join me on the real slopes over the Thanksgiving Holiday, but for those of you not so lucky, here’s your consolation. While it pales in comparison to the real thing, Linerider is a ‘toy’ that begins with the user drawing lines on a white background — short lines, long lines, curvy lines, strait lines, jumps, banks, 1/4 pipes — your imagination is the limit. Once you have your lines drawn, you hit a button that launches a ‘rider’ into your course of lines. If your lines are drawn too steep, your rider will crash. If your lines are drawn too flat, your rider will stop. You get the picture– you have to draw your course in such a way to sustain your rider’s speed, but not so steep that your rider goes out of control and crashes. I picked two of what I thought to be the most impressive Linerider courses off of YouTube for you to see. While you’re bored after turkey dinner, challenge your friends and family to a Linerider contest– see who can build the best course (take it from me, it’s not easy). See you on the slopes.
