## Description

BMX random gate start cadence for your iPhone / iPod Touch. 

OK riders, random start… Riders ready, watch the gate… beep-beep-beep-beeeeeeep...

This application allows you to play the random gate start cadence used in international BMX events no matter where you are with your iPhone or iPod Touch (random delay included!). A new random delay is generated every single playback, so you'll never know when the beeps will go. A "must have" for any serious BMXer. 

Comes with a built in timer for delayed starts and auto repeat functionality so you can practice even when you are on your own. An excellent addition to any stumpy gate or sprints session.
