    so cool to see how the impact just ripples your shoes when you land at 1000 fps.

    Damn, I want a job with you guys! I have so many theories on skateboarding you could help me prove and/or understand better!

    It’s a very interesting project! Could there be a way to get some of the real research documents? Cos I’m doing my final exam work in school about the physics of skateboarding. And since it’s not a subject that is researched over 100 times, I thought maybe they’ll be able to help me out a bit.. I’m from Belgium BTW (if that even matters :p)
