The physics behind adventure sports.
Pressure, lift, buoyancy, friction, balance and oxygen, explained with real numbers, one sport at a time. Seven sports are live, in water, in the air, on ice and wheels, and on the road.
Pick a sport
Each guide starts with a quick science challenge, then walks through the physics with an interactive lab, the skill or certification ladder, the governing bodies in India and worldwide, and verified places to try it in India, organised by level.
