What are the aerodynamics of a skateboard?

Answer 1

The aerodynamics of a skateboard is the air that flow under and over the board. Example: when doing an ollie the pop at the tail of the board + the air pushing under it + the force from the front foot going up makes the board go airbourne into the ollie. The higher you bring your knees up, the farther up the board goes.

Answer 2

In-line skating can take some time to learn mainly because most people lack of balance. The benefits of in-line skating is that you can get anywhere very quickly and you can adapt such as climbing stairs, going up steep inclines without ever taking your in line skates off. Once balance is mastered then its all about moving your right/left foot in angleing it at a 45 degree angle backwards and pushing your body with that foot. The sideways blade almost acts like a wall strapped to your foot and your pushing off of it. One mmethod is to put one skate on and go to a wall then push of the wall with your free foots toe pointing down the ground, your foot will naturally pivot and that's the motion you use. I have been rollar blading since i was 4 and i have the ability of going just about the same speed as longboards can go. The fastest i ever went was 46 down a mountain road. I know because i set off a speed camera set for 40 and it clocked me at 46.
