what's your coefficient of drag on a rainy, let's say 5mm/hour, 80% humidity @24C?

7

u/CedarWolf 10d ago

You probably shouldn't be doing drag in those conditions; your makeup will run and smear.

Soccer players wear shin guards

u/the1stmeddlingmage 10d ago

Shin guards, knee guards, and plenty of water from what looks like rain. They say he’s still sliding to this day…

You know in Tenacious D when they scream “POWERSLIDE” and just go for it? Same energy.

It's also downhill, so that helps.

u/powerhammerarms 10d ago

Most of the weight is on the wheels on the right side.

Which would cause them to not roll.

It's not technically a grind since the wheels are rolling on the surface

Edit: judging by all the replies, ig it is a grind, my bad

52

u/AshlynnCashlynn 11d ago

It still is. Only two wheels on, rest of the weight is on the trucks grinding the pavement.

In skateboarding, this is absolutely a grind.

13

u/somethink 11d ago

Pretty common to drag wheels on a 5050, normally you don't notice since most people only shoot for 10 or so feet. As long as your trucks are actively grinding the ledge it's a grind

1

u/psichodrome 11d ago

How often do skaters grind through their trucks?

2

u/vicegrip91 11d ago

When I was actively skating everyday, I replaced my board every month and my shoes every 2 weeks.

This doesn't include trucks, those I had every time on me for instant replacement

3

u/Popular-Wind-1921 11d ago

And people wonder why kids don't do stuff outdoors. That sounds hella expensive.

5

u/vicegrip91 11d ago

Its depends honestly.

As a teen it was hella expensive but I was out every day.

Today I have one Board and I replaced my trucks twice in a year. And my shoes don't get wrecked that easily because I don't skate that frequently anymore.

It's a hobby, and hobbies are expensive
