*Anyone remember the skateboard ramp? The bright pink one? Robin has found himself a shiny black skateboard and is putting the ramp to good use. Stop by!*

What's this?

[its_the_mask]

Hi Toph. You mean the ramp or what I'm doing?

[overthetoph]

What you're doing, actually.

[its_the_mask]

Skateboarding.

*and you can't see the grind, but you can probably hear the combination of wheel and ramp.*

Board with wheels. With the right application of speed and direction you can do jumps and things.

[overthetoph]

*nods* So... are you doing more up in the air?

[its_the_mask]

It's about 80 percent on the ramp, actually.

I'm picking up speed, climbing, flip --*suiting actions to words* -- and landing again.

[overthetoph]

Oh. And you just do it over and over again with different stunts?

[its_the_mask]

It's more interesting than it sounds. The combination of momentum, balance and gravity mean you've got to be careful.

[overthetoph]

True! You do this often?

[its_the_mask]

Not that often -- it's more a hobby than training.

[overthetoph]

I could probably try adapting it to do earthskating, but I think I'd prefer sticking to the ground.

Back home we have a friend, Terra, who could control earth. She used to make herself a disk and manipulate that and travel that way. It was pretty effective.

[overthetoph]

You had a friend who could control earth? I'd usually just run and use the earth to speed me up.

[its_the_mask]

Since we have two flyers on our team, perhaps she thought aerial manoeuvres would be an advantage.

[overthetoph]

I've never tried that, but even if I could I wouldn't. I won't be able to feel where I'm going then.

[its_the_mask]

Can you travel underground?
