When my older brother got his driving license it didn't take long before we tried the 'get towed by a car on your skateboard' idea, with muggins here on the skateboard.
Only problem was that we didn't put quite enough thought into the method of communicating from the towee to the driver. We opted for 'one bang on the window to speed up, two to slow down.'
Off we set with Barney slowly increasing the speed until I begin to shit myself a bit, go to do the double bang on the window but only manage to do one hit before having to grab on again to stabilise myself. So he speeds up...
I think I bailed at somewhere over 20 mph. Wearing shorts and a t-shirt. On gravel.
Talk about road rash...
