    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.

    The context is what's funny. "Higher" education? This guy needs to start with elementary board assembly.

    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!
    Sincerely
    Michael

    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.

    That is funny. I shot a photo for university marketing similar to that once using my old student worker's longboard.
