Abstract
- The article discusses the sport speedboarding with emphasis on how speed is manipulated on its gears and equipment. Portland speedboarder J. P. Rowan noted that speedboarding trucks are engineered to withstand extreme stress and finer maneuverability by the player. The helmet, leather suit and gloves do not only function for protective measures, but also for aerodynamic control. Since it is a gravity sport it requires a balance of strength and speed.
