SportsReflector uses AI computer vision to analyze every aspect of your skateboarding technique
Get a detailed breakdown of your ollie, from the pop and slide to the peak and landing. Our AI scores your form and provides actionable tips.
Master the kickflip with our AI-powered analysis. We track your foot's flick and rotation to help you achieve a clean, consistent flip.
Analyze your balance and weight distribution during grinds and slides. Our AI helps you lock in and hold your grinds for longer.
Improve your balance for manuals and wheelies. The app tracks your center of gravity and provides real-time feedback to help you find the sweet spot.
Perfect your ramp skating with analysis of your pumping, carving, and dropping-in techniques. Our AI helps you maintain speed and flow.
Based on your performance, our AI suggests a personalized roadmap of new tricks to learn, from basic maneuvers to advanced combinations.
With SportsReflector, your skateboarding journey transforms into a precise, data-driven progression. Our AI meticulously tracks your every move, offering unparalleled insight into your technique. For instance, when you're mastering the ollie, our system analyzes the precise flexion and extension of your knee and ankle joints, the timing of your pop, and the angle of your board during the slide. It identifies common pitfalls like 'pushing mongo' by detecting an imbalance in your foot placement and propulsion, or 'chicken foot syndrome' by analyzing the asymmetry in your lead foot's angle during turns. The AI also pinpoints issues with truck setup by observing inconsistent board angles and stability during carving. Your form score, a dynamic metric from 0-100, is calculated by comparing your movements against a vast database of professional skateboarders. A higher score indicates closer adherence to optimal biomechanics and technique. For example, if your ollie pop is weak, resulting in insufficient height, your score for that specific movement will reflect it, guiding you to improve. If your landing is consistently off-balance, the AI will highlight the deviation in your center of gravity and joint alignment upon impact. As a Pro user, you unlock an even deeper layer of analysis. Our symmetry analysis reveals discrepancies between your left and right side movements, crucial for consistent trick execution. A detailed biomechanical breakdown illustrates the forces acting on your body, while injury risk flags alert you to potentially harmful movement patterns, such as excessive knee valgus during landings. Muscle activation maps show which muscle groups are firing, and with what intensity, helping you optimize your power and endurance. Imagine seeing a visual representation of your core engagement during a grind, or the precise activation of your quadriceps during a kickflip. Our AR live training feature brings the coach directly to your skate spot. Overlay virtual guides onto your real-world environment, showing you exactly where to place your feet for an ollie, or the optimal arc for a kickflip. You'll receive real-time audio feedback as you practice, correcting your form instantly. For example, the AR overlay might show a target zone for your back foot during a pop, and an audio cue will tell you if you're hitting it too early or too late. The app also offers specific drills to hone your skills. Try the 'Perfect Pop' drill to refine your ollie timing, the 'Balance Beam' drill to improve your board control and stability, or the 'Kickflip Carousel' to master your board rotation and landing consistency. These drills are designed to isolate and improve key aspects of your skateboarding, ensuring you build a solid foundation and progress efficiently.
For the best analysis, film your tricks from the side with your entire body in the frame, and ensure good lighting.
The biomechanics of skateboarding involve a complex interplay of balance, force generation, and precise body movements. For instance, the ollie, a fundamental trick, relies on the coordinated flexion and extension of the hip, knee, and ankle joints, generating vertical force through the board's tail. The front foot then slides up the board, leveling it out. Muscle groups such as the quadriceps and hamstrings are crucial for explosive power, while core muscles maintain stability throughout the maneuver. Force vectors are applied to the board through the feet, with the timing and direction of these forces dictating the success and height of the trick. Landing involves absorbing impact through eccentric muscle contractions, primarily in the lower limbs, to prevent injury.
Computer vision systems track these intricate movements through advanced techniques like pose estimation and joint tracking. Using high frame rate cameras, AI models can identify key anatomical landmarks on the skateboarder's body, such as shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles. These landmarks are then used to reconstruct a 3D skeletal model, allowing for precise measurement of joint angles, velocities, and accelerations. This data provides a quantitative understanding of technique, far beyond what the human eye can perceive. Research indicates that detailed biomechanical feedback, such as that provided by computer vision, significantly contributes to technique improvement in sports by allowing athletes to identify and correct subtle errors in their movement patterns.
While human coaches offer invaluable qualitative feedback and motivational support, SportsReflector's AI provides an objective, consistent, and highly detailed analysis that complements human coaching. The AI's ability to track minute changes in joint angles and timing, and to compare these against optimal models, offers a level of precision that even the most experienced human coach cannot match. This objective data empowers athletes to understand the 'why' behind their mistakes and provides clear, actionable insights for improvement, accelerating the learning process and reducing the risk of developing poor habits or injuries.

Common questions about using SportsReflector for skateboarding analysis
Skateboarding begins with stance and balance — everything from pushing to tricks is built on a stable, comfortable relationship with the board. Beginners who spend time on the fundamentals progress to tricks significantly faster.
Correct skateboarding stance: feet perpendicular to the board (across the width), front foot over the front bolts, back foot over the rear bolts, knees slightly bent, weight centred over the board. Regular stance (left foot forward) or goofy stance (right foot forward) is determined by which foot feels more natural in front — neither is better.
