Did you ever wonder about the physics behind skateboarding? Here you go, skateboard physics at it’s best!
Skateboarding involves a lot of physics, not hard to guess if you look at it. With the ollie being the easiest (not only to explain) you can go all the way to the really impressive stuff like a “Lion Flip” or a “Dragon Flip”.
Another hard one to master is called “Impossible” which, according to the laws of physics –skateboard physics – should really be impossible. In her newest video Physics Girl shows why this is and how Rodney Mullen still manages to accomplish it.
Here’s another video I found, skateboard physics put into rap music:
If you just got hooked by Rodney’s style, here’s another one focusing on the beauty in it rather than physics.
Nothing is an impossible dude in skateboarding tricks. You need to concentrate and hard working. Cheers Skateboarders!
This is an excellent experiment. Never thought before! Thank You, author.
