Chapter 184 I’m so handsome!(1/2)
Because Red Bull has released too little information in advance this time, netizens can only make guesses about the specific content of this challenge based on the pictures of the Zheduo Mountain Highway released by Red Bull on Weibo.
Everyone guessed that Xiao Ning was going to downhill on Zheduo Mountain this time, but most people didn't expect that Xiao Ning was going to downhill on a longboard.
The barrages in various live broadcast rooms are being viewed wildly.
Xiao Ning, who was under the live broadcast lens, had already taken the long board handed over by the Red Bull staff and placed it on the ground.
After seeing the long board with the "redbull" logo printed on the front, the barrage set off the first climax since the launch of Red Bull's official live broadcast rooms.
"What a skateboard!"
"Nah! Ningshen actually wants to do downhill longboarding?"
"I've been a fan of Xiao Ning for ten years, but I really don't know when he started learning longboarding behind our backs!"
"That's it? Can this skateboard also downhill?"
"You know a basket? Among all downhill sports, the speed of longboard downhill can be ranked at the front. In terms of excitement and danger, this thing can directly enter the top three!"
"Stop talking! Can this thing outrun a battery car?"
"Well, I don't know much about this kind of skateboard, but I just checked on the Internet and found that the speed of this kind of downhill longboard on the road can often exceed 100."
"Let me add something! Fast speed is only one of them. In addition, the steering of this thing relies entirely on the body to adjust the center of gravity. More importantly, this thing does not have mechanical brakes."
"Then how to slow down?"
"Have you ever seen a car drift? If you slide down the longboard vertically, it will accelerate. If you move sideways, you will slow down."
"But wouldn't that just float? What if the speed is really over 100 and deceleration depends on drifting? Isn't this too abstract?"
"Cars are covered with meat, motorcycles are covered with meat, and longboards don't even have iron. At a glance, they are all minced meat."
"..."
Because of the longboard that appeared in the live broadcast, after determining the general direction of the challenge, the barrage fell into a continuous discussion about "longboard downhill".
With the popularization of science by a very small number of longboard enthusiasts and most of the knowledgeable buddies who pretend to understand, more and more viewers feel their scalps are numb because of the information related to "speed", "danger" and "mortality".
.
It’s exactly what these viewers thought.
There is no active braking measure. Turning and deceleration are completely dependent on the skater's control of the center of gravity of the longboard. It is indeed a sport that will make your heart skip a beat just watching it.
The challenge Xiao Ning is going to take on at this time is still on the complex and extreme plateau road conditions of the Zheduoshan Highway.
Even though the challenge has not officially started yet, many viewers watching the live broadcast have already raised their hearts in their throats in advance.
The starting point of the scene at this moment.
Red Bull staff are conducting final inspections on a series of Xiao Ning’s equipment.
Xiao Ning was not idle during their inspection.
When he came here today to start the challenge, he had already spent skill points to upgrade his longboard downhill skills.
Because of the mountainous terrain and complicated road conditions, for the sake of safety, Xiao Ning, who currently has plenty of skill points, spent 30 skill points to reach the master level of longboard downhill.
At this time, he knew everything about longboards by heart and was personally inspecting the longboards provided by Red Bull.
The other helmets, cameras, gloves, and protective gear worn on him can be inspected by the staff, but Xiao Ning still has to step on the rising board, even if it has been carefully inspected by professionals before taking it.
You have to confirm it yourself one last time.
Of course, you can rest assured of what Red Bull provides, but after all, once you step on a longboard, it is equivalent to giving up your own feet and replacing your "feet" with a longboard.
You always have to take a look for yourself to feel at ease.
As time passes by minute by second.
On this side, Xiao Ning has checked this long board and there is no problem.
On the other end, the staff touched him all over and made sure that all the equipment fit tightly and there was no problem.
Before the countdown to the start of the challenge reaches zero.
After getting Xiao Ning's signal, the Red Bull staff brought a bottle of Austrian Red Bull and handed it to him.
The audience, who had just been having a heated discussion on "longboard downhill", were quickly distracted by the familiar Red Bull logo.
"Red Bull's money is indeed not in vain!"
"That must not be in vain! Red Bull must let him drink more Red Bull!"
"I have a buddy who works in the Austrian Red Bull Dragon National District. What he told me seems to have been requested by Xiao Ning himself..."
"Ning Shen, just be dedicated!"
"..."
After opening the Red Bull ring and taking a sip under the live camera, Xiao Ning stepped on the skateboard with one foot.
At the starting point, the sun just hit him.
However, the seemingly scorching sun at the moment does not make people feel much warmth. Instead, it is so deserted that people cannot help but shiver.
But such good weather is indeed rare for the Zheduo mountainous area at this time.
It has now entered winter, and the temperature at this time is only 2 degrees Celsius above zero.
But this is the time of day when the temperature in Zheduoshan is the highest.
Although such a temperature is already cold for normal people, such "high temperatures" are very rare in plateau areas in winter.
It is incompatible with the surrounding staff wearing down jackets and cotton-padded jackets.
Xiao Ning was only wearing two pieces of clothing at this time.
The inside is a white T-shirt, and the outside is a thin, close-fitting roller skating jacket.
Although the Red Bull staff insisted on asking Xiao Ning to wear relatively light warm clothes in order to ensure that Xiao Ning would not suffer from frostbite, Xiao Ning ultimately refused.
The reason is also very simple.
Even if the cold-weather clothing provided by Red Bull is light enough, this is actually relative.
Downhill longboarding itself requires skaters to use their bodies to fine-tune everything at high speeds, and at extremely high speeds every detail is very important. Wearing one or two more pieces under the roller skating clothing will only add to the trouble.

Many viewers of the live broadcast also discovered the incompatible outfits of Xiao Ning and others around her.
"This athletic student has such a good body! He wears a cotton-padded jacket while he wears your mother's tights, and they look ridiculously thin!"
After some commentators discussed this matter, everyone agreed that what Xiao Ning studied at Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music was definitely not vocal music, but sports.
While the audience kept making comments, the countdown in the live broadcast room entered the last few seconds.
At this moment, in the headphones Xiao Ning wore in one ear, the staff of the Red Bull Zheduoshan project team were also counting down.
When the staff announced that the challenge officially started.
Xiao Ning, whose left foot was on the longboard, kept pushing back with her right foot.
After gradually accelerating, Xiao Ning placed his right foot diagonally behind his left foot, then slowly lowered his body into a half-squat, and his upper body began to become parallel to the board surface of the longboard.
Finally, he put his hands behind his back.
The purpose of lowering the center of gravity of the body in this posture is not only to allow oneself to better grasp and sense the movement trajectory and status of the longboard, but also has a more important purpose.
That is to break the wind with a low profile as much as possible and reduce wind resistance.
Among the downhill sports in the field of extreme sports, this kind of road longboard downhill on a high drop and long downhill is actually very similar to downhill sports such as alpine skiing.
The power is entirely provided by the slope, and if you want to make the speed faster, you must make the wind resistance smaller.
The charging posture like an arrow can minimize the air resistance on the body and the longboard as a whole, thereby making the speed faster.
Because the starting point of the challenge itself was downhill, after Xiao Ning completely entered the downhill posture, his speed had already increased at an extremely fast speed.
From thirty kilometers per hour, to fifty kilometers per hour, to seventy kilometers per hour.
He continues to accelerate.
Although the strong wind hitting his face was blocked by the full-protection helmet he was wearing, Xiao Ning could still feel the sound of the wind blowing against his body.
In addition to such noises, the powerful, continuous force was pushing his "big hand" backward at all times, allowing him to feel the power of the "wind" more intuitively.
Before reaching the first corner, Xiao Ning's speed had already reached 100 kilometers per hour!
When a car is driving at such a high speed on the highway, once you open the window, your ears will be filled with a "buzzing" sound, and if you fully open the window and want to reach out of the window,
, you need to use a little force to complete all of this.
When the speed is not high, if you put your hand out of the window and hold it in the wind, you will have an indescribable feeling like you are touching it.
But if you do this at a higher speed, you will just feel like the butt of a tank is smashed into your hands.
At this moment, Xiao Ning's whole body was being "traumatized" by such a "butt".
However, as he stepped on the longboard, his posture did not change due to the huge force brought by air resistance.
Every movement detail of finely adjusting the center of gravity of the body is smooth and natural.
To him, the strong wind seemed to have never existed at all.
A young man squatting half-crouched was sprinting downward on a longboard.
