I understand the board idea... I've used it while racing r/c cars, kart racing, r/c flying events, etc. But, when you look at the board and it says "Mike, beginner, green waroo" and you look out on the beach and see 15 green waroos, it's not very helpful. On the water, forget it. Half the time I can't even remember the names and faces of people I've met a dozen times already, much less Mike on a green waroo, or the 30 other people who are on the board I can't read from the water. In kart racing, a beginner usually has a white X on the back of his helmet. This tells other drivers to avoid him like the plague and give him plenty of space while passing. It seems to me the arm bands are probably the easiest solution so far. You can almost always see a rider's wrists... even while they are body dragging. But, since we won't know who the beginners are going to be, the only way we can do it is to wear one if we are NOT a beginner. If you're not wearing a band, you're either a beginner, not a local, or just not familiar with how things are being done now and someone should walk up and ask you some questions and give you a band if you need one. It's like the "hey, u guys know me and know I can ride" club... either you're in it, or you are not. If Stevil wants to do a skills checkout for beginners before they get a band, that's fine with me..... Hell I'll be the first one to wear the band too, I don't care. I'll sleep with it on if I need to remember to wear it. We'll need one in rainbow for E-Bone. |
