Bicycle Design

When GT Bicycle Designer Forest Yelverton gets to work designing the latest bike for kids or the US Olympic Cycling Team, his ability to think with the math and geometry he learned in school makes all the difference. Take a look.

Building and Testing Wheels

On location at Easton Sports for an inside look at what it takes to build and test durable, high-performance bike wheels.

Designing Stronger Skateboards (Video 1)

It's pretty common for skateboards to break. So Tim Piumarta makes skateboards that "last a ridiculously long time." He has to understand force and kinetic energy to measurement and algebra in order to make them extremely strong and long-lasting.

Engineering Faster Bikes

Lighter. Stronger. Faster. That's the goal of Niko Henderson, an engineer for Easton Sports. He uses science, mathematics, engineering and innovative testing to help produce some of the fastest bikes on the road.

First One in the Ballpark

Determining who is the best athlete on the field is hardly a matter of opinion. Sports reporters stay ahead of the competition by arriving early and keeping a close watch on statistics.

Making Fuel Cells

Imagine living on the moon, with a two-week night (and you thought Daylight Savings was bad!). How would we store enough power to survive? A look at the work of a materials engineer building fuel cells for humanity’s next big adventure.

Testing Bats

From the cannon room to the bat-swinging robot to the bat handle-breaking machine, the engineers at Easton Sports are testing the latest sports equipment for durability, performance and handling.

Windsails

Sailing the ocean no longer requires triple-masted schooners-in fact you can do it on a vessel no larger than a surfboard. What's the secret to designing a windsail that can skim the surface of the sea at 20 miles an hour, yet respond instantly to a sail?
