Aurelien did really kill that one but the original Ghetto Bird was created by OG Kareem Campbell and it was a Nollie Inward Heel 180. Tho he did kill it yo
From someone who rides an electric longboard around campus with a speedometer, the camera doesn't nearly do these guys justice. These tricks are insane.
@@traddad9172 How could you possibly miss my point? They didn't use the device correctly so the recorded times aren't accurate. It's obvious if you actually watch the full videos of those attempts. If someone all of a sudden goes 7 mph faster than their previous try it's probably not accurate.
The best thing about incredible pro skateboarders and snowboarders/skiers is that when you see videos like this you're kind of like "Are they not afraid to hurt themselves just messing around?" and then you kind of realize that these dudes are just like us, they just aren't ever afraid and i guess that's why they're the best.
You really should build a huge roll in and have a contest to see who can do the fastest and/or overall gnarliest trick on flat. The ground seems so slippery in there that no matter how fast you go you just slide it out, perfect setting for that kind of contest!
In 2000s we used to watch long videos of skaters doing cool tricks, and then a short funny video of bails. Today they are showing us 95% bails and a few landed tricks at the end.
I think a few of these skaters were actually faster than the recorded speed because the readings were taken at angles and not from straight on. Jamie Tanzoni at 4:48 , for example, begins his trick when his path of travel is at an angle of roughly 140 degrees relative to the radar beam. The radar clocked him at 21 mph, but if we assume a cosine angle on the horizontal plane of 40 degrees (180-140=40) then his adjusted velocity would be around 28 mph, which is roughly a 33% error. This correction doesn't account for the vertical plane delta, so Jamie's TRUE linear velocity was likely slighly higher than this.
Why would you need to know anything about the vertical plane? They are only trying to measure horizontal velocity. Also, I’m *assuming* they were reading the skaters’ speeds way before getting perpendicular to the person using the radar. If anything the skaters would have slown down between the highest recorded speed and actually doing the trick.
@@ActingLikeABoss i mention the vertical plane because when the detector beam is not on the horizontal plane with the target point then the beam distance becomes the hypotenuse of a right triangle which is by definition longer than the horizontal base distance between origin and target. As the horizontal distance between origin and target decreases, the measured error from an elevated point (+ or -, doesn't matter) increases the error in proportion to the elevation delta. If you'd like I can model it in a google spreadsheet and send you a link, if you don't believe me.
