Never really understood skateboards myself [[Special:Contributions/216.25.182.141|216.25.182.141]] 03:00, 27 June 2026 (UTC)<br />
:That's okay. I never really understood human-scale spin-½ fermions. [[Special:Contributions/2603:8081:9700:1224:0:0:0:2|2603:8081:9700:1224:0:0:0:2]] 03:18, 27 June 2026 (UTC)<br />
Early footage of Tony exploring rotational symmetries: The Loop (2001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLC1V22Y7iY<br />
Note that he needs to go around the loop twice before he can return to his original orientation and land the trick. [[Special:Contributions/86.23.176.63|86.23.176.63]] 03:39, 27 June 2026 (UTC)<br />

Riding "regular" vs "goofy" just means which foot is placed at the front, it has no real effect on what you can or can't do so you could describe it as a "symmetry" similar to symmetries in physics. Discovering a way to break that symmetry would, in theory, be an important discovery to people who cared about theoretical skateboarding.
