Reaction Paper On Bungee Jumping

Tumbling is getting more and more popular across the globe. The hype all started when Gabby Douglas won the 2012 World Olympics. One of the signature tumbling passes of gymnasts around the world is the round off back handspring back tuck. This tumbling pass is not as easy as it seems. What people don’t realize is that in order to have the perfect technique like Douglas’, you must gain momentum during the round off, maintain good body control during the back handspring, and get as much height as possible during the tuck.

What would you attempt to do if you could not fail. For you it might be talk your parents into giving you a car, or a thousand dollars. For me, I would attempt to do a double backflip on the ground. When I was about 9 years old, my sister could do a front flip on our trampoline. I thought it was really cool and I wanted to do it so badly. Later that year I taught myself how to do a front flip. I thought it was so cool so I did one hundred that day. When I turned 11, I taught myself how to do a backflip on our trampoline. It took a while because it was so much different than a front flip. My friend (Calen) came over one day and he wanted to learn how to do a backflip so I tried to teach him but he just couldn't commit. When I turned 12, he came to my house again and wanted to learn a corkscrew. We looked up a video on my IPad on YouTube and we tried to do it but it seemed impossible. While trying a corkscrew, Calen got more and more positive that he could do a backflip and sure enough, he had

After analyzing Ruvens football throw I noticed a lot of good things about the throw. One good thing I noticed was that his eyes were always on the receiver. During his drop back his eyes stayed glued on the receiver. This would allow him to make an accurate smart throw. Another good aspect of Ruvens throw was his weight shift. After his drop back Ruven was able to transfer his weight towards the receiver allowing him to put more power on his throw. One part of the throw that I noticed Ruven did well was holding the football by the bottom laces, which allowed him to have better control of the ball. Lastly, a good thing I noticed about Ruvens throw was how he flicked his wrist. After releasing the ball Ruven flicked his wrist. This allows the

7. The Mythbusters recorded the angle of deflection of the dummy’s neck when bent backwards, as well as the resistance to pressure in its neck to be used as a threshold for serious injury. During the experiments, the group also collected the speed of the drop, the collision time, and the g-force exerted on the dummy’s chest, head, and neck in each simulation.

How to begin longboarding can be really easy or really hard depends on your set-up. Skateboarding shoes are perfect, but really, any shoes with a flat bottoms work well. This will help you grip the board better than if you were wearing running shoes. While it's possible to longboard in flip flops, don't try it until you at least know what you are doing! You also need a helmet. You'll need it when starting out, and you should always wear a helmet when doing anything fast, downhill, or anything even slightly dangerous! You're gonna want to use sliding gloves even if you're not sliding itll help if you fall.

Leotards are a fundamental clothing item used many sports, mainly dance and gymnastics, which allow the athlete to perform at their peak ability without restrictions. A leotard allows for fluidity of movement and should also be light weight, stretchy, durable, and conform to the athlete's body (1). Upon their first appearances in the sporting community, leotards were manufactured from stretchy wool (1). However their increasing popularity later led to modifications in the choice of material; leotards being made from cotton and spandex (1). Spandex, also known as lyrcra or elastane, is a synthetic fibre which is produced from a long-chain polymer called polyurethane (8). Alternatively, cotton is a natural fibre made from glucose molecules which

In order to find the constant value of k, another equation must be employed and that would be F bungee cord = - kx where F would be the force of the bungee cord and x would be the distance the bungee cord was stretched when a certain mass was hanged from the bottom of it vertically. The negative sign in front of the kx is not that pertinent for the calculation of k but shows that the force is in the opposite direction of the force that is stretching the bungee

To be specific, the hip protectors have been constructed to divert or absorb the energy of the fall. The hip

Mistakes can be great teachers. When I was learning to jump my horse I had the fear of falling and being stepped on. My riding instructor, constantly reassured me, that if I forward moved with the horse I would be fine, and if I happened to lose my balance I would land on neck of my horse. To jump a horse the rider has to go in to what is called two point position also most laying on the horse’s neck, which places the rider closest to the jump. This terrified me, I would reluctantly go in to a half way two point. This was alright over eight inch polls however a cross rail was a different story. I was practicing for an upcoming show, when my mother informed me that my instructor wanted me to work at cross rails. I decided that I would practice

Melissa Hudson, a former Murray State University student, graduated from the BSW program in December 2001. Hudson is a proud wife and mother of her four year old daughter. Meanwhile, Hudson starts out talking about beginning her career in February 2002, at a reginal health Center. She worked with children who had behavioral disorders. However, in 2005, Hudson started a new career in Hopkinsville KY, Indian Hills Elementary School as a Coordinator, for family Recourse Center. Throughout the presentation, Hudson expresses social issues, programs, and stresses on how each are important for families and children to maintain. Listening to Hudson talk about her career and what she does every day was very inspiring. She loves what she does and I could

The trampoline he called a "bouncing ring" actually consists of a metal frame with canvas stretched over it which can be highly unsafe for people who aren't trained properly. George Nissen intended this invention for trapeze

Imagine being able to jump up to nine feet in the air, run up to 25 miles per hour, and be the talk of the whole town. When I first saw these jumping stilts in the Beijing Olympic opening and closing ceremonies I just had to get some to try out. The very next day I began researching about the stilts. I found out that the inventor was a German engineer named Alexander Boeck, the average cost of a pair is around five or six-hundred dollars, and the majority of “Bockers” in the united states are in the Southwest region. I was so amazed by what would be possible to do in them so I found a dealer in Phoenix, Arizona and bought my Air-Trekkers.

The kickflip is the hardest of the basic skateboarding tricks and one of the most popular skateboarding tricks to learn. Learning to kickflip first, before learning other skateboarding flip tricks, will help you in the long run. If you are brand new to skateboarding, you'll first need to learn how to ollie.

Jump Suit is really a comfortable choice for the women whether you are a plus size model or slim, jump suit remains easy to wear for any event.

For a span of about 20 years only a few people were brave enough to be motorcycle stuntmen. Performing death defying jumps were and still are looked upon as a “crazy” action. It takes much practice, natural skill, and planning for a stuntman to perform a successful jump. Of course practice is dictated by ones determination, skill is acquired with the combination of practice and good genes. And the planning has to do with physics. Sure one could just “grip it and rip it” go balls out and just jump, but the safe way to do it deals with careful planning, which directly relates to physics topics. So the question is, how do motorcycle jumpers such as Evil Knievel plan out their jumps and
