I did that one time because I wasn't paying attention. It turns the wrong way. You lean right, it turns left. It's a weird sensation. It's even weirder when you mount one truck backwards and the other correct. Yeah, I've done that too.

sometimes the #### just writes itself...the funny thing, this is what i wrote to the folks ...


The skateboard pictured in your ad in the 24 H newspaper features a person with a skateboard.
The truck on this skateboard is backwards.
This would be quite amusing if it wasn't so pathetic!
Fire your ad agency!

Yeah. But I since I gave that to a friend I've lost all skill again. Looks like I'll be needing that Edward soon. I'll be sure to mount the trucks on backwards too, because I'm a college student seeking higher education.
