Extreme Sports

Dr RobIn this episode we find Dr Rob on his adrenalin packed pursuit of all things extreme!! All in the name of science of course.well, physics anyway.

Ever wondered why the skateboard sticks to your feet when you do an "Ollie" or how big wave riders manage to conquer those massive walls of water? Well hitch a ride on the half pipe and hang on! Because Dr Rob is racing through some of the world's most extreme sports.

He uncovers a new type of skateboard invented by a 14 year old, checks out the latest on the adrenalin crazed agenda - kitewinging - and doesn't even dodge the dodgiest, danger defying one of them all - the little known sport of SKELETON!

Don't miss all the action as Dr Rob once again, makes the ordinary - extraordinary, "under the SCOPE!"
