    The other two answers are spot on, so all I can add is how annoyed I get when sportscasters says someone is defying gravity. There are not, in fact, the parabolic arcs that skaters and snowboarders travel are defining gravity, not defying it. Hang time is a myth, 32 feet per second squared isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law.
