Fun Facts

In time for the start of the Winter Olympics, other than those involving sliding the tractor down a snow bank, I just ran across the fun fact that the speed at which a skater like Nathan Chen is rotating in the air during a quad jump is about 400 rpm, close to 75% of PTO speed....
I can't usually tell the difference between a triple and a quad, they're just a blur.

I get dizzy just thinking about that

And a diesel engine needs about 200 RPM to effectively start.

Nathan Chen will be on NBC shortly...

I wonder why I could never get into any thing like that,, Sporting events have just never held any interest for me I guess

I've always liked watching the winter events. Mainly snowboarding, skiing, bobsled, and luge. The rest of the winter stuff never really peaked my interest.
