    Winning a skateboard marathon with physics?

    Thank you all for your responses. I am considering using an almost similar wheel, which is made out of the same exact urethane. Yes, rolling resistance is one of the big factors here, but I'm trying to find mathematically if there is a trade off between weight of the wheel vs. circumference...

    Winning a skateboard marathon with physics?

    I am to compete in an upcoming skateboard marathon. Recently we were discussing the use of skateboard wheels and whether the circumference of the wheel had any advantage given that a larger wheel would also generally mean a heavier wheel and would require more force to push it. The skateboard...
