Smarter Everyday is a YouTube show that’s kind of like the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters. The host, Destin, picks a topic or experiment to try and then explains the science behind why things work the way they do. In this episode, he explains how motocross riders are able to control the pitch of their motorcycles while jumping through the air. If you think about it, you can’t really exert a force on a motorcycle while it’s in the air because there’s nothing for it to push against and it doesn’t have any wings. What the riders do is they use the rotational energy in the rear wheel to change their pitch. Check out the video to see high speed footage of it in action.
