Free idea: snowboard wings

Snowboards clearly need wings. It's the next logical step really. Here's how it would work:

The wings would fold back over the tail of the board when not in use. They'd screw right into the binding holes on any snowboard, and would have standard binding holes on top to screw your bindings into. The wings are operated by a handle behind your foot - you just reach back and lift up on the handle in the middle of a jump and suddenly you can coast a little farther, have a somewhat softer landing, and mostly just look really cool. Retracting the wings could be manual with the same handle, or it could happen automatically via two small ski-runners that hang below the level of the board when the wings are deployed. These runners land first and lever the wings back into place.
