Whats the skatebaord trick called where you jump on the board and it goes flying from underneath you while your feet start swinging into the air and then you land hard on your ass? I'm really good at that one.

The closest I regularly get to skateboarding is towing my buddy mike around on his. Good exercise for me and you can actually get up to a decent clip if you try hard enough. If something unexpected happens he just lets go of my seatpost and coasts to safety. I've towed him towards a few jumps and stuff as well.
