Static pressure is the ambient pressure (as when in still air). The dynamic pressure is the pressure that you feel against your face as you speed through the air. If you place a 1 sq ft plate into wind and you measure 25 lbs of force on the plate, you have a dynamic pressure of 25 pounds per sq ft.
