I also had hours and hours of fun with a Jacko-skate nailed to a short plank of wood. Not like a moder day skateboard, but with the plank at 90° to the axis of the skate. It was then sat on and you could control (in a fashion) the direction by leaning the plank left or right.

After a while (and a few knuckles) you could get pretty proficient at steering hands-off. One of the advantages of being a kid in Sheffield was that you were never far away from a decent hill.

I wonder if Dave Wortley ever rode a trolley all the way from his house to Malin Bridge? It would have been a cracking ride but a long walk back...
