I would like you all to view this blog as a sign of how skitching can be dangerous. he was a family friend Caleb Potter he cant see out of one eye, will never be able to work again, and just when he started to recover (after a year) his father committed suicide most likely due to all the stress invlolved with the accident. if you skitch, do it safetly please.

if you wreck while skitching, then you have to wait to go skating again until your healed...unless you go anyway, but then if you crash again...

Tow-rope aren't that safe, if you have to stop in case of emergency, there isnt much communication between you and the driver. A car pulls out of its drive-way and he hits the brakes and your hit his bumper cause the back lights turn red, but you didnt have time to footbrake hard enough to avoid impact.
I'd rather grad window frame and just push back, like a push-up as he press on the breaks, or just let go and coast uphill until its safe again.
