Random Book Prize Opportunity
The book prize for this thread has been drawn. Thanks to everyone for their excellent board names!
Hey Word Outers,
Turns out we've got a spare copy of The Skateboarding Field Manual, the nonfiction of the week for August 3, to give away.
If you're interested in it post a comment in this thread with the name you'd give your skateboard if you were Tony Hawk-level skater famous. I'll draw the prize winner on August 21 (a week from today).
I will go first (though I am not eligible for the prize): I would name my board the Biblio-Deck. Hilarious!
Alan H. is a web librarian who fell off a cheap plastic skateboard at age 8, busted his elbow up, and hasn't been back on one since.
I'd name it...
The "Sky Flipper"

Ahahah I really need a manual for this...when I was seven, I skateboarded straight into a brick wall ...and that was because I couldn't break or change direction (well, I was too scared to...)....
I would name my skateboard, the CrashBoard 000, for hopes that I never crash ever again =).
