Friction!!!

So first off, this picture above probably has something to do with physics but im too lazy to go and investigate. I just thought it was cool. One day I was driving home and I say the sun piercing though the clouds and it came down in a little shaft, like an alien spaceship looking to suck up some unsuspecting human for experiment purposes. The real physics part of this blog is of the picture below.

Sometime this past week, I forget when, but me and my two friends was riding our scooters down this canal in kahala near my friends house. In the picture we decided to stop and take a break, and lay on the slanted part of the walls of the canal. This is going all the way back to first quarter with friction, but I thought it was neat. The guy on the left could lie on the slant without sliding off. This means that gravity pulling on his body is not enough force to overcome the coefficient of static fricition of the concrete wall. However it must be close because me and the guy on the right would not stay stuck to the wall. We would slide down very slowly, but there is enough force for us to move. I think it is because we are fatter then that 110 pound guy on the left. Me and the guy on the right are both at least 140, yes I know I'm fat, but I only gained 15 pounds since wrestling ended. Anyways the whole part where we could lay on the wall and slide down very slowly reminded me of physics so I decided to take a picture of it. The force of mine and the guy on the right's weight, along with gravity, creates enough force to over come the coefficient of static friction of the concrete block. While riding around in the canal, I also discovered more friction but I have no picture. In the middle, where the water usually runs, it is very bumpy. I found out that if the scooter comes to a stop, your body does not. I ended up running into a huge hole so the wheel got stuck, and on this downward slope, my body didnt, but luckily the handle bars was able to stop my stomach from going any further. I also learned that if you lean inwards, with enough speed, you can ride on the slant of the walls. This is very hard though and I was only able to do it for a short while. It reminded me of the day we learned about how sharp curves in the road are slanted up so cars have an easier time making the turn. Its kind of related because I was only able to make a half circle path on that slanted part of the wall. Well there's probably more but I did not eat dinner so now I am hungry. I think I will have some ice cream.
Geez Louise!!! I forgot I uploaded this picture too. I just decided to put this picture up because it was the first time I noticed the sign that says "discharge yourself of static electricity before leaving," this way you will not catch on fire. Also you should recycle bottles and cans.
