Skateboarding Physics: Understanding Longboard Components and Techniques
Explore the connection between physics and skateboarding by delving into the unique differences in longboard designs like wider wheelbase, bushing types (soft vs. hard), and the effects on maneuverability at varying speeds. Learn about the transition of potential to kinetic energy while skating downhill and the importance of techniques like pumping, kicking, and sliding for control and speed. Discover how factors like wheel hardness, slide gloves, and heat affect longboard performance, all intertwined with the thrill of the sport.

Explain link to skateboarding Talk about their unique differences and uses (wider wheelbase, longer, heavier, drop through etc ) Talk about bushings (soft vs hard when turning and their impact on you at high speeds)
At the top of the hill As it changes to kinetic energy
Pumping(gyration) http://www.stokedlongboarding.com/how- to/pumping/longboard-pumping/ Kicking At the bottom of the hill
Sliding(harder will slide less smoothly and break traction softer are harder to break but have a smooth slide) include info on slide gloves Maximum Speed Heat s affect on the wheels Different Hardness ratings
