Description: Skateboarding is one of the coolest sports around- but it wouldn't be anywhere without scientists to help it develop. Read how boarders defy gravity to get as much air time as possible, how boards and wheels are carefully made to overcome friction and how science helps to protect skateboarders when something goes wrong.
