During Christmas break i had a lot of time on my hands so i decided to start skating again. I never really thought that about how much physics concepts are involved in just a simple board and wheels. Kinematic equations can find out displacement, or how long you are able to stay in the air. You can find your velocity after going down a ramp because of PE turning into KE. In this picture i am balancing by putting more force on my right foot which is being offset by the CM and my left foot.
