Incentive for a long run

An algorithm for calculating SkiIQ that rewards long ski runs without stops. It encourages skills where a skier can complete 60-80 turns at a consistent level rather than stopping every 8-10 turns to achieve a high IQ.

    Sometimes the tips don’t resonate with me (I learn best when the explanation talks about biomechanics of a movement). If you keep making the same mistake after getting a tip or a suggestion in active coach or training mode, it would be great if the app could give you the tip in a different way. For example, if “release both skis at the start of a turn” isn’t resonating with the user and they keep repeating the same errors, explain it in a different way. Would help with different learning styles!

    I would like an incentive for long run. Maybe just a new quick filter with ski:iq with more than 8 turns like +25 and +50. Something to motivate me to ski long runs and try to beat myself

    Rewarding long ski runs with an additional bonus to Ski:IQ? You can't make extra credit from many worse turns equal with the 8 great turns, sorry. --> How to do it so that it would be fair, simple and understandable? It would be more about the skier's endurance than the maximum physical + technical skiing ability so it would need a separate endurance category if implemented? On the other hand why not pick the Ski:IQ from the window of 8 best consecutive turns from the data of the whole run so basically no changes are needed in the current "reward model" to make it comparable to max Ski:IQ? --> a 100m sprint run requires different things than a grueling 800m run. So some people would need the separate "Iron legs Ski:IQ" award categories of over 50 turn runs I suppose? 😂👍 - 25+ turns: Average Jill & Joe - 50+ turns: Iron - 100+ turns: Steel - 200+ turns: Titanium To be honest this sounds more of a fun thing to show in your ski data summary at the end of season imo?

    Rather than 60-80 turns, run length in itself could be a « bonus metric », that is, an additional X number of points for a run longer than 40 turns, X+2 for runs longer than 50 turns etc.
