Mosha Marc, I thought the same, he is only 2 years older than my eldest.

clarky999, ....that's a nice compliment...having met Luke, he's a modest and committed skier, simply dedicated to improving - great ambassador for freeride....
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Could someone please demystify the thread title for me? Luke and the Star Wars ref. I get, but the 9.8 metres squared is still wooshing high over my head

Strictly speaking it is pulling down on your head.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

blahblahblah, I've looked at it all ways - it can't be area of the planks he skis - surely no-one skis planks that big!! It can't be to do with his height and I can't think of any other connection
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

The 9.8 is technically not correct, since it's not a force, nor the bit that's pulling you down. But it is the acceleration caused by that force (if all other forces are ignored).
edit: will watch the vid from home later - not youtubing from work.
You know it makes sense.

andy, I know this is your area, and its been a while since school, gravity is pulling down on her head? and if all other forces are ignored the the 9.81 becomes valid?
My comment was a tongue in cheek response to the" wooshing high" comment.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Gravity!! I like it, and one that I guess I should've known, but physics always bored me to tears Thank you!

andy, Megamum,
...excellent pedantry - I think attempts at humour are best when they really enhance knowledge rather than misrepresent it; and I failed to do that here - sorry about the 'slide' in the title from gravitational force to the approximate expression of acceleration due to gravity, I just couldn't resist it. Luke will have noticed since his father's at CERN (!)
I enjoy talking natural science to our tiny ones. My youngest was asked, when he was just four, standing looking at the small waterfall near Saas Grund, '...what makes the water fall, Alex?... why doesn't it go sideways or just hang there in a ball...?' - he thought for a second and then remembered: '....grabity...it kinds of grabs the water and drags it down...'.
