Sports motion analysis

Movement data, made useful.

KineLab builds software that interprets motion-sensor data for athletes and coaches, starting with snowboarding.

From raw sensor signals to the moments that matter

A few small motion sensors, on the board and wherever the body's movement matters most, record a rider many times a second. Our software turns those signals into moments and measurements: pops, airtime, landings and turns.

For athletes

See what actually happened on the run, not just how it felt: pop timing, airtime, landing impact and turn rhythm.

For coaches

Measurements alongside the video. Compare riders and sessions, and see what changed, what worked, and what could be improved.

How it works

  1. Wear

    A few small sensors attach to the board and the body, wherever the movement matters most.

  2. Ride

    During testing, the KineLab Capture app records each run on a phone the rider carries.

  3. Review

    Our analysis picks out moments like pops, landings and turns, and measures their timing, angles and impacts.

What the sensors see

Each recording becomes a detailed stream of motion data. Here's one moment from our on-snow testing, a pop seen by the sensor on the board: its angle as it leaves the snow, its time in the air, and how hard it lands.

Where we are

  • Now

    Private testing with a small group of riders, winter 2026–27: recording on the snow and refining the analysis.

  • Next

    The KineLab app, with feedback on each run shortly after you ride it.

  • Later

    More tools for coaches, and more board sports.

Who's behind KineLab

KineLab is based in Frisco, Colorado, and was founded by Vincent, a software engineer and PSIA-AASI certified snowboard instructor. Two things drive the work: a love of hard problems, and a love of this sport and the community around it. KineLab is where the two meet.
