Hello, I have a picture request. I am looking for pictures of supercross triples with riders on or above them.

I am giving a non-AP Calculus final next week and I want my students to calculate the volume of an entire supercross triple. I have done this in years passed with whoops. They need a rider in the photo to estimate the measurements of each jump.

This is the best I have so far, but I'm looking for something with a rider jumping it for reference and maybe more from the side.

Thank you,
Eric

So the integral of the curvature times the width?

They will model the curves on Desmos and then find the Area Under the Curve. Then multiply by the width

I like the idea. You can move Chad to what ever your equation came up with. Would that be a sliding rule?

Not exactly a triple but this is what comes up with a quick search on supercross press day images


And this one. Just because it's bitch'in

Maybe you can pair this with another photo. Always thought this photo of Hannah Hodges on her supermini at the MEC was really badass

Those are quite nice, thank you. The first or last might get used.

Incredible how Chad makes the triples look so small...

Incredible how Chad jumps the triples backwards with ease...

Incredible how Chad does whips past 180 degrees...

lol I never thought about whoops being modeled as a sinusoid before, that's actually kind of funny now that I picture it.

Wow.... So... Where is the real world application to this? Are you sure you aren't making the kids in your class stupider???

James isn't jumping the triple in the first one. Hes jumping the rhythm lane.

Been to a ton of races...and just realized I mostly take pics during track walk and before racing! Laughing I'll keep looking though.

So that's how you perfect your MXS tracks... It's starting to make sense now.

Real world application would be everything engineered in your everyday life... there is a reason you go through 3+ levels of Calculus before you can even get into engineering school.

I'm currently going into Calculus 3 this fall. Pretty cool to see a more creative question out of the normal "train/plane does this" or "liquid spill spreads out a certain amount blah blah blah".
