I'm less impressed by the skateboarding tricks and more impressed by the physics software that can derive all this from a video.

  Well tracking software has been around for a while. I did something like this for a highschool project...

    I guess it's just something I'd never seen before, impressive at first sight! I did all my physics quite a few years ago and don't remember video analysis like this, although I guess it wasn't really my focus anyway.

  The simple Ollie in that video is no where near as impressive as the tricks performed in the video lbotos posted (top comment currently). Unfortunately, I get the feeling the tracking software would have a hard time with any component of movement that isn't coplanar (including rotation).

  Skateboarding is an incredibly fun sport. You should give it a try.

  There's no advanced physics software required to get the data in the video, he's just plotting the second derivative of a line he got by tracing the center of the wheel. F is proportional to a :)
