I am doing a science project on the Physics of snowboarding. Does anyone here have any websites that may help me complete my project? I am open to any of your knowledge, books you have, websites you have found or any other sources.

I need to tell everyone about Drag, Resistence, Designs of Snowboards, The actual Physics (how you go down) and more.

I also need to present this info to my class so if anyone here has any unique ways to present it let me know.:beer:

Not for nothing, but a simple google search on "physics of snowboarding" comes up with MANY MANY links to information.

You do know Google right?

Here's an interesting way to present.... got to an open ski area and demonstrate!

Of course, depending on when you need to present it, your only option might be A-Basin or Whistler! :wink:

I would narrow the project down to something like how the board flexes and where the forces are or how the forces are distributed on step-in bindings vs traditional. The fact that stuff slides down a hill is pretty well understood.
