ummm... I'm talking about just using a skateboard deck. Not duct taping your shoes to it, or something gay like that (no offense). It's alot nicer when your not taped to the board, so you can do kickflips, heelflips, fingerflips, pop-shoveits, one or no-footed grabs, and other shit like that. I've tried both ways, and there is a huge difference.
Tramp-skiing is alright too, but thats a littile bit off topic.
