Chapter 189 It wasn’t me who was killed anyway(1/2)
Some people say that the most unreliable thing in the world is the weather forecast.
At this time, Xiao Ning was convinced.
Combined with the current reality, there is really no fault with this statement.
Weather forecasts are of course meteorologists analyzing a large amount of data and finally predicting the results based on theory.
But the weather itself is just like people's mood, it changes at will.
No matter how detailed the theory is or how accurate the data is, it will be very powerless when sudden weather changes occur.
Before starting today's challenge, whether it is the local meteorological department or other weather stations' forecasts, there is no snow today, and there will even be no snow in the next few days.
But the snow suddenly appeared.
It still snows in Zheduo Mountain.
The Red Bull team, relevant local departments, all the viewers watching the live broadcast at this moment, and Xiao Ning himself!
No one would have thought that the sky, which was still bright and sunny, would start snowing without any warning!
The audience who were still discussing Xiao Ning from various angles in various live broadcast rooms were collectively uneasy!
"Whoops! It's snowing!"
"Is it snowing?"
"It seems like it's really snowing!"
"Ningshen is wiping the snow off his goggles with his hands, right?"
"But the snow drifted into my eyes..."
"What are you doing! Ningshen's challenge is still halfway there!"
"Then we have to give up! If it snows in a place like this, it will be very scary!"
"Give up? Are you a new fan of Xiao Ning? Old fans know very well that for a being as awesome as Ning Shen, the word 'give up' does not exist in the dictionary of life. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
"It's not that I'm not cool, it's that God doesn't have good intentions! The challenge itself is already life-threatening, there's no need to continue the challenge in such extreme weather conditions!"
"Stop yelling, please slow down!"
"Do we really have to give up the challenge?"
"Isn't it just some snow? Why don't you give up now? I feel so good! Anyway, if you give up, I will clear the level!"
"..."
The scene at this moment.
While Xiao Ning wiped away the drifting snow on the helmet lens, he quickly controlled his posture to increase the wind resistance and slow down his original speed.
Although the snow is not heavy now, after all, there is still almost half of the distance left.
If it snows this time, the road surface in the back section will definitely be slipperier than before.
He slowed down completely subconsciously.
Xiao Ning was really surprised by the sudden falling snow in the sky at this time.
A sentence that he once read in a book suddenly popped into his mind——
"The most constant thing in this world is variables."
This snow is this sudden variable.
The change did surprise Xiao Ning, but it did not disrupt his plan.
The entire progress of this mission has been completed halfway.
Even if the King of Hell stands in front of him, he will never give up.
Not to mention it's just snow now.
"It's just light snow now. According to this amount of snowfall, visual inspection shouldn't have much impact."
"But after all, there is still half the distance left... By the time I pass through the later sections of road, it is very likely that the snow on those roads will have melted and become slippery."
"When you wait until this situation occurs to slow down the longboard, it is very likely that the wheels will lose grip and start drifting uncontrollably..."
"Besides, no one knows whether the snow will be heavy."
"No one knew it would snow today..."
After some brief thought, Xiao Ning made a decision that went against common sense.
Under normal circumstances, whether it is a longboard, a bicycle, or a car, as long as the vehicle is traveling on paved roads, once encountering extreme weather such as snowfall, heavy rain, etc., people's first reaction must be to slow down.
p>
In these situations, slowing down does increase the safety factor.
Just like Xiao Ning's first reaction when he discovered it was snowing.
When encountering snow, the correct operation is to slow down and drive slowly.
But in fact, for Xiao Ning, who has to complete the task now, slowing down is not a good thing.
There are many ways to decelerate longboards, such as using slide gloves for auxiliary handbraking, using feet for footbraking at non-high speeds, novice longboarders' favorite face braking, and using posture to push horizontally through this type of braking, such as drift braking.
Wait...
The principle of all deceleration methods is to increase the friction between the skater's body or the longboard and the road surface, and increase various resistances.
If it snows and the road is slippery, the deceleration performance of the longboard, like all other vehicles driven by wheels, will inevitably weaken.
And compared to those vehicles with active braking, the deceleration performance of longboards is much weaker!
But that's not the point.
The point is, longboards don’t have a design where you can actively control the direction!
You can use the steering wheel to control the direction of a car, and you can use the handlebars to control the direction of a bicycle.
Because the tires themselves of these things can change direction.
However, the directions of the four wheels of the longboard are completely fixed and cannot be adjusted at all!
This leads to the fact that in order to control the direction of a longboard, it completely depends on the skater's adjustment of his own posture and center of gravity. The principle is to use these methods to make the force on the left and right wheels of the longboard different to achieve the purpose of steering.
In other words, on slippery roads, the steering performance of the longboard will also weaken, and it will be far more difficult to operate than the steering of other vehicles!
So if Xiao Ning wants to slow down on a slippery road, the situation he is most likely to encounter is——
Not only was he unable to slow down, but if he wanted to slow down when cornering and choose the best path to corner, he would even drift off the cliff in a straight line from the corner of the mountain road due to steering problems!
How to solve this problem?
Or stop now and choose to give up this challenge.
Either...
Just don’t slow down at all!
Yes!
Since slowing down is likely to cause various problems, then just don’t slow down!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Try your best to maintain the grip between the four wheels of the longboard and the ground at all times, and do not perform any operations that may weaken the grip unless it is absolutely necessary!
"Anyway, the road section with the most dense curves has been passed, and the curves in the remaining sections are very gentle..."
"Except for those corners with slightly tight angles where you may need to use slide gloves to assist in cornering, you can just rush through the other corners at full speed!"
"If you pass the remaining road section at full speed, on the one hand, you can avoid various accidents due to loss of grip when decelerating!"
"On the other hand, if I maintain full speed, there is a high probability that I can ski to the end of the mission before the snow falls heavily!"
Xiao Ning made a decision in his heart. He had adjusted his posture and slowed down just now, but suddenly he arched his body again.
Not only was his center of gravity adjusted downward, but his entire body on the longboard also gradually moved closer to a streamlined shape, and soon transformed into the most professional longboard downhill posture!
After witnessing such a scene, the Red Bull staff at the scene were dumbfounded, and the viewers watching the live broadcast were also dumbfounded.
Just now, everyone thought Xiao Ning would slow down or even give up the challenge because of the sudden snow!
Now that Xiao Ning suddenly accelerated again, it completely surprised everyone!
During these sluggish times, Xiao Ning even passed a long bend at full speed!
Throughout the entire process, his series of operations and detailed control were extremely stable!
He negotiated a gentle curve at a speed of over 110 kilometers per hour without stalling!
At this moment, everyone who was confused just now felt an unprecedented shock again!
It was only then that people suddenly realized that everyone still didn’t know enough about Xiao Ning!
After seeing the scene at this time, everyone's jaws dropped in shock!
Because Xiao Ning’s skills in downhill longboarding are far more terrifying than everyone imagined!
