While watching the video, think to yourself –
What are the functions of wheels & axel systems in conjunction to ramps?
I wonder.... What directions do wheels roll on a ramp?
What is rolling?
How would you make a wheel system that goes straight?

Tony Hawk is from San Diego, my hometown. He's very active there. There's a whole skate park at the Encinitas YMCA that he designed and donated.
ReplyDelete-Tony Hawk uses balance and motion so he can ride on his skateboard.
ReplyDelete-Being "stable" is important because so that you wouldn't fall off and hurt yourself.
-You are balanced, if you are not falling off.
-Wheels at first, will go down the ramp. If you have force added, it will roll up back up.
-Rolling is like wheels going in circles as they rotate on their axis.
Thanks Ricky! We are wondering if you have ever seen him skate in person.
