The Physics of Pumping on a Skateboard - Fully Explained + Easy to Understand!

I have been wanting to make this video for a very long time now, and finally here it is! A full, accurate, explanation of how to pump on a skateboard and exactly why it works, complete with experimental proof (actually showing my explanation from 5 years ago to be incomplete)

This video was a lot of fun to make, and I'm excited to get the ball rolling again on uploading skateboarding videos now that my foot is finally starting to feel good enough to actually go skateboarding.

Thanks for all of the support in the meantime, and just know that all of you guys make the long hours I put into these videos way more than worth it!

...and as promised at the end of the video, here is a link to the video on skating bowls:    • How to Skate Bowls - Guide to Pumping...
