    I kinda hope the guy on the motorcycle felt like a jack ass after doing that.


    Yeah speed wobbles happen with basically anything that has to balance while going fast. A co-worker had to put a windshield on his motorcycle to balance the air flow better and wobble less.

    There is plenty you can do.

    The #1 thing is relax. Let your body absorb some of the wobbles. If you keep your body stiff, the wobbles will just become worse.

    You can also change your position on the board, scoot forward, or slide back. You can get wobbles if your weight distribution isn't quite right.

    You can also put your feet down and slow down.

    You do have to be careful. IF you don't overcome the wobbles you can flip.
