Physics of Skateboarding by Deji Badiru,Tunji Badiru Pdf

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.

A Secret History of the Ollie by Craig B. Snyder Pdf

Every culture has a creation myth, and skateboarding is no different. The Ollie forged a new identity for skateboarding after its invention in the 1970s, and it lies at the root of nearly every significant move in street skating today. This groundbreaking no-handed aerial has also affected the evolution of surfing and snowboarding, and has left a permanent impression upon popular culture and language. This, then, is the story of the Ollie, the history and technology that set the stage for its creation, the pioneers who made it happen, and the skaters who used it to start a revolution.
