To be fair everything that a BMXer does is can be expressed using applied mathematics. However if you went to go and see pros putting in a show I'm sure it would be slightly disappointing, and against the whole ethos of the sport, to see them whip out a note pad and calculate the correct launch speed and angle of attack to pull of a certain trick. I have never really followed BMX but I understand that the stunts that those guys pull off are based upon years of trial and error, often accompanied by injury, that gives them the experience to push the boundaries of their sport further. However I do also see that MDCC tester has a point, as the closing van significantly increased the guys launch speed it may have been prudent to do some basic calculations. Can we drop this now and get back to finding funny shit that I can look at to procrastinate from work?
