^ dunno/.its a shame though - based on last years JOI he would have pulled a rabbit out of a hat this time.

it is sloppy as hell but is insane because he breaks the laws of physics.

hey. you know whatd be fun, lets have that argument again.
ill start.

no he didn't break the laws of physics.



and.......... go.

that you cant reverse spin direction in the air without touching something

ie. your cant doa backflip and then come around in the same air and do a front flip.

so what pep did was a 90 then a reverse 270 in the same air

that's sick, first time i see this vid.

who says he isn't touching anything? air is made out of molecules so he's touching air, just a matter of putting more force by "pushing" the air into the other direction then the spin... action-reaction. If he wasn't enable to do this a plane wouldn't be able to fly.

but i figure this discussion has been here before so just ignore ^

But you can do both with a 180 in between. I think it is called a venus fly trap, Mike wilson used to throw them in the pipe. Or I think it was mike wilson

no no no i want the actual law as it is stated
and since no one else wants to do it, i will. i believe the law we are dealing with here is rotational inertia  which is:

    A rotating rigid body maintains it's state of uniform rotational motion. It's angular                momentum is unchanged, unless an external torque is applied.

In that video Pep applies an external torque and is also not a rigid body, no law has been broken. There are also other things to consider like air resistance.

What's the external torque?

I don't think it has much to do with air resistance. I think that if you spin your arms in one direction, you will move the other, like when people are about to fall, they have the tendency to spin their arms really fast in the opposite direciton they're falling. You've seen it. Like when people get scared on big tabletops, they spin their arms.

Don't underestimate air resistance. I'm a skydiver, and we use nothing but air and our body to control our movements, and we can go from left spin to right spin very fast. It's not completely the same as what pep does here because we use the speed (+-200km/h) of freefall (and our body) to manouvre, but it's because of the air we can do it.

no he doesnt you fuktard.

an object in motion TENDS to stay in motion.
an object at standstill TENDS to stay at standstill.

TENDS refers to if the object is capable of readjusting themself or manuvering again.

he doesnt break the laws of physics because you can break them-hence the name LAWS

well it was a 22m jump therefore at the speed he is going at there has to be some air resistance. this air resistance acted as the object he touched in order to spin the other way. beleive me ive thought about this for a long time and this seems like the answer

I agree, air resistance helped him spin back. In space nothin could be done like that. Never seen that before, it is sickness.

It is not air resistance. The guy that used the flailing of arms is spot on. Another analogy is jumping on a dirt bike. If you give the bike gas while is the air the rear wheel will spin forward. This causes the reset of the bike to spin backwards, because as we all learned in physics, Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you hit the rear brake while in the air the rear wheel comes to a sudden stop and the inertia of the wheel rotating forward is transfered to the bike and the bike rotates forward. What I am trying to say is that by throwing body parts around, like pep did, you can change the direction of your rotation.

isnt the external torque, his arms moving. or another analogy would be a cat using "external torque" in its body to change positions in the air to land on its feet.
