Exploring Physics and Techniques in Longboarding

Delve into the physics behind longboarding and its unique features such as wheelbase, weight distribution, and bushing types. Learn about the energy transformations involved in longboarding, from the top of the hill to pumping and kicking techniques, sliding variations, maximum speeds, and the impact of heat on wheel performance. Discover how different hardness ratings and slide glove usage affect your ride experience.

  1. Steven Cassell 11/9/2013 Physics 211

  2.  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)

  3.  At the top of the hill  As it changes to kinetic energy

  4.  Pumping(gyration) http://www.stokedlongboarding.com/how- to/pumping/longboard-pumping/  Kicking  At the bottom of the hill

  5.  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
