Description: Authored by Paul Doherty, Pearl Tesler and Noel Wanner for Exploratorium, this site analyzes the physics of skateboarding in great detail. It goes into many different 'tricks' and the effect of materials and design on the behavior of the skateboard. The site also features a web cast, equipment, and a glossary. The project is co-sponsored by Thrasher, a prominent skateboarding magazine. This is a fun resource for students interested in physics.
