The sky roller ride depends on interaction with the air to create a rolling motion. In this paper,
we analyse forces, torque and angular velocities during different parts of the ride, combining a
theoretical analysis, with photos, videos as well as with accelerometer and gyroscopic data, that
may be collected e.g. with a smartphone. For interpreting the result, it must be taken into account
that the sensors and their coordinate system rotate together with the rider. The sky roller offers
many examples for physics education, from simple circular motion, to acceleration and rotation
involving several axes, as well as the relation between wing orientation, torque and angular
velocities and using barometer pressure to determine the elevation gain.
