Stupid question

[Stickmassacre]

I'm sorry but I need to ask a question that I'm sure is easy and dumb.

But is there a different between airtime and g forces or are thoses the same thing?

The answer...Yes. I'd say they are the same thing...and totally different.

airtime has to do with the amount of g forces applied to your body as it crests a hill. Actually, the amount is 0. Gforce is the level of pull the earth has on you blah blah blah blah blah.

Airtime is experienced when your body feels no g forces or negative g forces, the lower the g force the most insane your airtime is.

Positive Gforce is when you are at the bottom of a big hill, or in the middle of a helix when it feels like somebody is pushing you down.

Gforces are what make roller coasters exciting, coasters without gforces would be incredibly boring.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Yeah, just think of the bottom of SUF's pretzel loop in terms of g-forces.

And think of Viper, or Raging Bull's first drop, in terms of airtime.

[FParker185]

well, Airtime is a term someone made up and G-Force is a technical term

but traditionally G-Force is positive G's and Airtime is Negative G's

if you ride the last row on superman, you can feel big negative g's going down in the loop, it feels like your face is going to the back of your head. postive g's is your air time which you feel that uplifting feeling in your insides.

[CoastsToCoasters]

dont u got that backwards?

positive...down in your seat.
negative...up outta your seat.

[joker]

whoop. i think your correct.

[Director_Guy]

Technically you can't have negative g's....because you can't weigh -2 times than the force of gravity. Negative is just...more fun to say than just Zero G's.


Oh...wait....I'm boring myself again....
