Adding unnecessary style flurishes to skilled activities, often beyond ones skill level, increasing the risk, and usually used to taunt or impress others.
That skateboarder was showboating to impress that girl when he broke his ankle.

The Washington Generals were down 150 to 10 but the Globetrotters were still showboating for the crowd.

showboating 

1. To have a visibly exaggerated idea of ones own skills, talents, or abilities.
2. To exhibit a grotesque amount of undue and unfounded pride for a skill or ability which is actually mediocre.
Excellent examples of people who are really bad showboaters would be that 'Lord of the Dance' blockhead Michael Flatley, the ludicrously posturing Sarah Brightman and her bloated ego, and the Queen of the Showboaters, that swirling black hole of talentlessness herself - Celine Dion.

"This was our one chance to get rid of tha showboating Canadian wench!" - Peter Griffin, Family Guy

When a person want's to appear to other people as if they have a life when in all reality they're simply seeing attention and haven't quite figured out how to be interesting enough to do it for real.

Slowboating 

Slowboating is a science fictional verb/slang to a theoretical means of traveling between star systems known as Multi-Generational Space Voyaging. Moving slower than Light Speed. This can pertain to humans who essentially are living and dying per generation during a multi-light year voyage or individuals whom are frozen and waiting time of their arrival at their destination, which could take centuries if not longer.
With no Faster-Than-Light drive, I guess were slowboating it to next inhabited solar system.
