Another manoeuvre is the "wheelie". The tail wheelie is probably the easiest. To do this both feet must be placed on the tail of the board so that the front of it rises. Supreme balance is required to keep the board moving on the two rear wheels. For this trick a kick-tail is fairly important. Of course, there are variation: a tail wheelie can be performed on only one foot. For the "nose wheelie" the feet are placed at the front of the board so that the rear rises. 1, record 5, English, - nose%20wheelie

The skimboard is a craft of varying size, usually of some oval, tear-drop, or square shape, though some people use circular boards. The square board is one of the easiest designs to learn on. The best size board, in most cases, is about your mid-chest height. Modern skimboards are made out of fiberglass or carbon fiber and take advantage of a high density foam to serve as a core. ... When this fiberglass or carbon fiber is laid over a shaped piece of foam, saturated with resin and left to cure, a skimboard is made. 1, record 6, English, - skimboard

Vidéo produit en 1984 par les productions du Verseau, Montréal (Québec). Entre un père et sa fille qui s’aiment, il n’y a rien d’anormal dit le père incestueux de Chantal. Mais, étant donné le respect qu’elle lui doit et l’amour qu’elle éprouve toujours pour lui, Chantal n’ose lui résister. Elle vit dans la frayeur et se heurte également à l’incompréhension de sa mère qui est apeurée de voir toute sa vie s’écrouler et qui n’a que des reproches devant la détresse de sa fille. Ainsi, Chantal est poussée à la fuite, à la prostitution ou peut-être même au vol. Ce film démontre pourquoi l’inceste est possible et toléré durant de longues années, des années pendant lesquelles nul étranger ne percera le secret unissant les membres d’une même famille. 1, record 10, French, - Les%20enfants%20mal%20aim%C3%A9s%20%2D%20Chantal
