| skogging |
- Urban Dictionary definition several years back
- Current Definition: SKOGGING is the art of enjoying a \"danciful\" jog or a run while sidewalk-surfing a skateboard both short and preferably long distances on mostly flat terrain surfaces with the main objective: a roll your own exercise, tight rope ride on wheels while one totally transitions/transfers their weight from one side to the other while leg/knee/ankle/foot pushing the skateboard forward in either a straight or curved direction.
- Skogging How-To
- SKateboarding and joGGING = SKOGGING, the definitive name had to be unique and perhaps fishbone-in-the-ear sounding. Very easy to find in all search engines. [grin]
- Buy a shirt or something, please and help the evolution of what it can be. Everyweek, new development! All proceeds go into the Skogging Foundation.
