Download or read book Physics of Skateboarding written by Deji Badiru and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of skateboarding is presented as a motivational educational tool for skateboard enthusiasts of all ages. It addresses the fun, fellowship, and following of skateboarding. The journey of writing this book traced back to the previous ABICS Publications books with the theme of “physics of” an object of interest. We have seen “physics of soccer” and “physics in the kitchen.” Beyond writing this book as a sports-oriented book, we also designed it as a motivational tool of educational introduction to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Physics, as a science, is an essential part of human existence, whether in education, sports, industry, commerce, the home, and social settings. Physics is all around us and we should leverage it to have a better understanding of what we see, do, and experience.
Download or read book Skateboarding Science written by Helaine Becker and published by Sports Science (Crabtree). This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skateboarding is a relatively new sport that developed out of the laid-back lifestyle of Californian surfers in the 1960s. Restless surfers stuck wooden boxes onto roller skate wheels, and they rode their "skateboards" after the day's surfing was done. Today, skateboards and the ramps on which the skaters ride are built with the latest materials and construction techniques. Skaters use the laws of physics to pull off the most amazing tricks. This volume explores these developments and how they make skateboarding one of the most exhilarating sports.

Even though it is abundantly clear on his website that he is an English comedian and author, people still write to him asking the best way to do a kickflip or land a melon. One mischievous day he started writing back in a pompous tone, goading his correspondents for their spelling mistakes and poor grammar, while offering bogus or downright silly advice on how to improve their skateboarding. Featuring entries on parents' pain, disappointment, underachievers, Quorn and the Vatican, this is his A to Z guide to the world of skateboarding, as seen through the eyes of someone who knows absolutely nothing about it.
