The other thread about going on the swings as an adult reminded me of a story I want to share.

Every area has "that guy" that almost everyone seems to know. In Pacific Beach his name is Slomo: https://youtu.be/Xn87-mcnoVc?si=W8vAGhOUYrS82fJo

If you don't want to watch the video the long story short is doctor was depressed, found joy in roller blading and quit his job. The real interesting part and why I'm posting is this:

He explains how the forces of acceleration in his inner ear produce a feeling of expansiveness and joy.

Always thought this was the most interesting fact. So go out and enjoy your favorite motion sport, whether it's a biking, skiing, roller blading or swinging!
