Hello,
I would like to create a new downhill biking type activity, an activity that is practiced in ski resorts during the summer.
For me the ideal parameters of such an activity would be a mix between a cycling activity and an activity ski, namely:
- From the ski activity
Pausing the stopwatch and gps during lifts and auto descent (with the data screens "current descent", "total descents" etc.)
- From the mountain bike activity
Classic mtb dynamics features like, grit and flow.
The problem is that it is impossible to create such an activity. Garmin has a monopoly on activities with the "auto descent" setting which it only reserves for skiing/snowboarding (unless I'm wrong, but I couldn't find how to activate this setting in another activity)
And if I copy a ski/snow activity to make a custom activity, it is impossible to add the mtb dynamics features like, grit and flow (it s stored in the ski category and grit/flow from mtb are not skiing… logical)
So please garmin change one of these 3 settings:
- Ability to add "auto descent" on any activity.
- Be able to add any data field to an activity (ex grit/flow) on skis...
(These first two points can create inconsistencies in the activities, I am aware of it)
- That Garmin officially creates a mtb downhill activity in the resort with ski lifts which takes a break when you are on the lift and includes the mtb dynamics features. (For the touch of perfection you can even add the maps of the mtb descents on the ski resorts in the summer…. Like you do for ski)
If someone from the forum or the garmin team takes the time to answer me in advance, thank you.
