skogging

In 1975, Chris Yandall, World Slalom Skateboard champ wrote an article that was published in Skateboarder Magazine "Cut the Jive and Jog"(1975). In 2004, while riding his skateboard after a major celebration session at Mission Beach LaHaina's down the boardwalk, the word "skogging" popped in his head.

Skateboarding and jogging. "SKOGGING" which led to the website www.skogging.com to commemorate this new action sport niche.

"Yo. Dude! Let's go skogging!"

or

"Use your noggin, let's go skogging.

phatto

This occurs only while skogging but usually not while switch pushing. Skogging is not a straight line pushing movement while it does promote switch foot carving. It's occurs while switching push foot, one foot ends up getting run into by the front of the skateboard and that leads to a "phatto" which is a wipeout caused by errant foot placement.

Oh man, while skogging through the crowds dodging people like a slalom course, i had a nasty phatto and ended up with strawberries on both knees !
