Why doesn't the air skateboard fall off?

Air skateboarding is also called air surfing, but there is no "ground" in the air, and there is no water or waves. How can you skate? Don't forget that there is air in the sky!

Skateboarders in the air should put on their equipment, fly to the altitude of 13000 feet (nearly 4000 meters), and then jump off and start skateboarding. At this height, the speed of air flow is much faster than that near the ground. Simply put, it is windy. At this time, the airflow under the athlete's feet is like running water, which produces great resistance. Athletes just want to follow the wind with skateboards, overcome the resistance of the wind, keep their bodies upright and make all kinds of tricks at the same time.

Of course, at this time, athletes are free to fall when surfing, and the speed of falling can reach 250-300 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of high-speed rail. Therefore, athletes basically only have 50 seconds to skateboard in the air, and then they will open their parachutes in one second and become skydivers.

At present, almost all the air skateboarding that can be seen in international competitions is a team skateboarding performance, with at least two people in the team. But why is there only one athlete in the camera? That's because the other one is behind the camera lens. Yes, this man is the photographer of air skateboarding.
