T.Rex
« on: November 09, 2018, 08:40:07 am »
"An adult T. rex could turn like a slow-motion 10-tonne [9 tons] figure skater from hell"

There's something you don't read everyday; https://www.livescience.com/64019-turning-tyrannosaurs-t-rex.html


Also linked to this article, one about turning forces; https://www.livescience.com/61793-ice-skating-quintuple-axel.html

I reckon if you attached weights to your hands you'd get more rotational force, but you'd need really strong arms to pull in.
The greatest trick figure skaters ever pulled, was convincing the world it was easy.

I don't feel the need to try out that time machine!
Returned to the ice in Sept 2017 after a major leg injury in 1999. Skating in Jackson Elite Pro & MK Vision Syncro. Still scary after all these years.
