I was simply blocking his potential fall into my leensteer, which would probably have spun the machine to the right and thrown me off the platform at 12 mph.
That's something I really don't want to have to experience...
My gut reaction was a fist seemed safer if he was going to hit, and after the fact, was a more satisfying position to be in after he rammed the side of Herbie.
And yes, I rememeber Tim recounting how a kid deliberately rolled a skateboard out in front of him and his machine crushed it without flinching. I also recall this kid's friends laughing at the loss of his skateboard.
Same area, just more North of me.

I think I remember reading that someone on here had some smart ars* roll their board out in front of them whilst gliding and amazingly the board broke under the wheel and the glider carried on. That's 2 for gliding and 0 for the boarders!!
