The Physics Behind a One-Handed 360 Spin
Balance in a one‑handed 360 is less mystery than ruthless bookkeeping of momentum and mass. The spinning rider becomes, for physics, a rigid body with a fixed angular momentum vector that resists any casual attempt to knock it off course. Even when one arm releases the grab and shifts outward, the system of board, boots, hips, spine, and free arm still has to obey conservation of angular momentum,...More
