Hell yeah! Grab your stick, head on out to the tree in your back yard and freakin’ GET SOME!!!!!!!!!!! Ropeboarding is where it’s at man. You don’t need a lift ticket or a skatepark pad nanny telling you what to wear. Here’s the deal. Hang a rope from a tree. Cut a hole in a skateboard and feed the rope through. Tie a knot on the bottom of the rope so you can stand on it. Attach a waterski handle a little bit higher than your head. Swing around on the rope, hold onto the handle and pretend to do early grab airs on your skateboard. Varial city! The best part is where your buddy inevitably catches it on video when the rope or branch breaks.

Guilty, but it was 30 years ago and we built ours out over a hill.(east tennessee has a lot of hills) I even had the rope break on me once. Ours was just a ski handle. We had to carry the board. I would do foot plants off of a tree branch.
