#Banked

When you sign up for a banked slalom but end up in a big air. @mikebasher showing his expertise of putting gear to the test 😂.

@sunvalley Stampede day one qualifiers were ELECTRIC ⚡️ 🎥 @elliotboiron_ @_ezduzit__ on skier’s right For those who don’t know, this is the inaugural Stampede. Two skiers on course at a time: GS start → jump → off-piste → banked slalom with features. Absolute chaos in the best way in search for the BEST all-around skier. What an event. Can’t wait for this to become a yearly thing. Finals tomorrow… stay tuned. #sunvalley #badboyline

The Secret to High-Speed Turns: Banked Tracks Explained! 🏎️💨 Ever wondered why NASCAR tracks or Velodromes are tilted? It’s not just for looks—it’s pure physics! 🎢 When a car hits a curve, it needs a centripetal force to keep it from sliding off the track. On a flat road, you're relying entirely on your tires' friction. But when you bank the track at an angle (\theta), a component of the Normal Force (F_N) actually helps push the car toward the center of the turn! In this quick breakdown, we derive the ideal banking angle where a car can take a turn perfectly—even if the track was covered in ice! 🧊 The Breakdown: Vertical Balance: F_N \cos \theta = mg Horizontal (Centripetal) Force: F_N \sin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{R} The Magic Formula: \theta = \arctan \left( \frac{v^2}{Rg} \right)Physics makes the world (and the cars) go 'round! 🌎✨ #Physics #Engineering #ScienceExplained #STEM #NASCAR Dynamics MathIsLife Education LearningIsFun PhysicsLovers

Had a blast today at @saddlebackmaine racing in the banked slalom event! What a great time! Got 6th in my class & 8th overall! 😁 The course was very crispy so it was tough! @sno_cntry @_zimmermanns_ . . . #saddleback #bankedslalom #maine #snowboarding #winter

Drum roll please…. 🥁🥁🥁🥁 Blauvelt’s Banks is BACK, baby. March 14th and 15th we’re throwing it down on the banked slalom course with our favorite rider @jake_blauvelt . Fast turns, deep banks, and all the hype you remember. Registration goes live this Friday, February 6th at 11am and you already know this one sells out fast. Don’t sleep on it. It’s coming.

This is how a banked turn feels like! Fully electric & very cool experience with @continental_reifen at their Contidrom test track 👍
