The Science That Explains Why Skiing Is So Enjoyable When first learning to ski, part of the initial instruction typically includes “French fry to go, pizza to slow.” Those pizzas progress into slow turns, then soon you are linking parallel turns. Functionally, you realize that turning is used to steer your direction and control your speed. Then, as you advance further, you become enlightened that the rhythm and pressure […] Brains Brent Thomas | October 3, 2024 5 Comments
Man Splits the Rear Wheel of his Bike in Half for a Head-Turning Result There are a lot of physics that go into riding a bike. There is the gyroscopic theory effect of the spinning wheels. Also, the external forces such as gravity, friction, and rolling resistance. But how about a simple math equation? Just normal bike math, like 0.5 x 2 = 1 wheel. That is what engineer Sergii Gordieiev made sound simple […] Cycle Brent Thomas | June 29, 2022 0 Comments
Understanding The Physics Of Ski Racing Sure, we all get that gravity pulls skiers downhill and carving a turn is faster than snowplowing, but have you ever stopped to actually think about the physics of ski racing?ย While no skier can go as fast as physics suggests they can, World Cup ski racers get the closest. Let’s break down the forces behind the best alpine skiers in […] Brains Alex Camerino | September 28, 2020 0 Comments
