You're able to stand up on one of those things?

You're doing a whole lot better than I ever did on a skateboard.

i second that.  I was able to stand on one of those for about 10 seconds once!

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

You can do iaido.  I believe that trumps anyone who tries to make fun of you for bad skateboarding.  (Or at least ought to make them think twice about it.)

I would have spent a lot more time on my ass than you did.

Wow, that was a great fun video  ;D I'm sure that if i tried it, however, I'd not only fall off, but the board would inexplicably fall of a cliff and burst into flames, as cars do in films.  I've just got that sort've luck.

Noted.  Thanks, South Park's one of those things that I never much liked the look of when it was first on, but since someone showed me the Scientology episode, I've been really interested in seeing more.
