Since the absence of people in the house, and an old skate board sitting in the room, I have decided to start skateboarding. Ah, do not make your prejudgements yet. It is an old skateboard, 9.5in wide, 30in long. And I am only allowing myself to 'practice' (and strictly) 'old school' tricks. In the kitchen, approximatley 4 feet wide ( because of a large standup bass) i can now efficiently complete a Bertlmen slide. 'Tis where you ride really low, almost sitting on the ground, place one hand on the ground, keeping your feet on the board- cause it to slide around making a 180 degree turn. I can also do a Frontside Boneless, and a very large sum of End-overs. Yes, I am a dork, yes, I am bored, yes, I have way too much time on my hands.... For the record, I have never skateboarded before, ever, besides simply rolling on a board.
