Synopsis

Skateboarding Flow explores the captivating physics that enables skateboarders to perform awe-inspiring tricks. It unveils how skaters harness ramps, gravity, and momentum to achieve seemingly impossible feats. Did you know that skateboarding has roots tracing back to surfers seeking a similar thrill on land? Or that understanding Newtonian mechanics can significantly improve a skater's performance? This book uniquely bridges theoretical physics and action sports, offering insights valuable to both skaters and physics enthusiasts.

 
The book delves into ramp dynamics, gravitational forces, and momentum, demonstrating how these principles are applied in tricks like ollies, grinds, and aerials. Through video analysis, biomechanical studies, and physics-based simulations, the author presents evidence-based explanations. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with fundamental concepts and culminating in advanced techniques and practical applications for skatepark design and training.

 
The book's approach is both informative and accessible, using clear language to demystify complex physics. It progresses from basic definitions to detailed analyses of specific skateboarding maneuvers, providing a framework for understanding and appreciating the science behind this dynamic sport. By examining the physics at play, Skateboarding Flow enhances our appreciation of skateboarding's intellectual and physical demands.

It’s Not about Perfect -...

Shannon Miller, Danny Peary

"When the odds were against me, I was always at my best."
When she retired at age nineteen, Shannon Miller did so as one of the most recognizable gymnasts in the country. The winner of seven Olympic medals and the most decorated gymnast, male or female, in US history, Shannon tells a story of surviving and thriving. A shy, rambunctious girl raised in Oklahoma, Shannon fell in love with gymnastics at a young age and fought her way to the top.
In 1992 she won five Olympic medals after breaking her elbow in a training accident just months prior to the Games. Then, in 1996, a doctor advised her to retire immediately or face dire consequences if she chose to compete on her injured wrist. Undeterred, Shannon endured the pain and led her team, the "Magnificent Seven," to the first Olympic team gold medal for the United States in gymnastics. She followed up as the first American to win gold on the balance beam.
Equally intense, heroic, and gratifying is the story of her brutal but successful battle with ovarian cancer, a disease from which fewer than fifty percent survive. Relying on her faith and hard-learned perseverance, Shannon battled through surgery and major chemotherapy to emerge on the other side with a miracle baby girl.
Her story of trial, triumph, and life after cancer reminds us all that it's life's bumps and bruises that reveal our character. From early on in her career, Shannon knew that life wasn't about perfection. In this incredible and inspirational tale, Shannon speaks out so as to be seen and heard by thousands as a beacon of hope.

Frontline Bodies - Sports and...

Nicolas Martin-Breteau, Damion...

In Frontline Bodies, Nicolas Martin-Breteau argues that sports are not—and have never been—purely about entertainment for Black Americans. Instead, beginning in the 1890s during Reconstruction, Black Americans proactively used athletics as a tactic to fight racial oppression. 
 
 
 
Martin-Breteau considers the work of Edwin B. Henderson, a prominent Black physical educator, civil rights activist, and historian of Black sports. Training Black children as athletes, Henderson felt, would work both to fortify racial pride and to dismantle racial prejudices—two necessary requirements for a successful political liberation struggle. In this way, physical education became political education. 
 
 
 
By the end of the twentieth century, Martin-Breteau argues, racial uplift through sports had lost its emancipating power. The emphasis on the accumulation of wealth for professional athletes, as well as sports' ability to reinforce anti-Black stereotypes, had become a political problem for true collective liberation. For a marginalized group of people that has been physically excluded from the democratic process, however, sports remain a political resource. By studying the relationship between athletics and politics, Frontline Bodies renews the history of minority bodies and their power of action.
