Sledging

[BoMan]

Here’s a sport for when it's too wet to skate and too polluted to surf. Skimming the grass might be fun but street wipeouts would be painful! What do you think?

Grass

Street

When I was a kid I used to skim along the side of the road because it was grass and accumulated water when it rained and if it rained a lot then the grass field in front of our house had huge areas that could be skimmed. When I was a little older we would take a water ski tow rope and drive to a beach that had really hard sand so you could drive a car on it then take turns towing each other along the beach. But on the road ....well you might as well find a place without water and skateboard.

Funny in Australia sledging is what we call the trash talk that goes on in cricket and other team sports.
Much of it beyond appropriate ribbing!
