Laugh not, as this --- at one point in the distant past -- was not an unheard of endeavor (though I'd invariably have fucked it up and done a messy face-plant). I used to have a Supergoose frame way back in the 80's (and a handy friend who worked at Larry & Jeff's bike shop on the Upper East Side). Since I was simply not co-ordinated enough to maintain any semblance of balance (nor exude any effortless cool) on a sk8board (though I still have a second hand Uncle Wiggly Fish Stick, for those of you easily impressed by such things), I concentrated my efforts on BMXing.....and bizarrely won (!!!) a crappy Huffy Pro-Thunder in a box of Cheerios (their attempt at BMX). True story. The latter was later stolen right out from under me -- for only the price of a bloody nose -- right neear Bethesda Fountain in lovely Central Park. I sold my other BMX gear years ago. I do have a Trek mountain bike now (which I may go use right now, come to think of it).

It was a pretty neat trick at the time.
