If you’ve ever wondered why track athletes use spikes I’m going to show you one of my spikes so you can see here that there are these pointy edges and these are really cool because you can actually screw them on and off so that if they get dull you can replace them
But what happens let me show you as this shoe hits the ground this is incredibly light so we’re going to push down on the ground and these spikes are going to dig into this track surface so you’re not going to move and scrape like if I put
My Force down and try to pull I can’t do that so it’s not going to slip and scrape so now we can really dig in with all of our effort and go as fast as possible

I feel like it’s an obvious enough concept that we didn’t need a video this long explaining😂
Thank you I was sitting here just wondering why those were on there… Man it's true you do learn something every day even though it's pretty common sense
Yes
Oooh!!! Very it's interesting, I never thought of it
