THE SKATEBOARD is an item that spawns at round start in some out of the way area of the station, randomly appearing in crew quarters, the central warehouse, tucked away in maintenence, or some other place where an enterprising assistant might find it. There might be more than one. It is a bulky object, so it won't fit in a backpack, but it can be carried around.
How does it work?
You can board the skateboard much like a segway, and like a segway, it gives you Pac-man style movement where the only way to stop normally is to dismount. Where it differs from a segway is that if the rider collides with an anchored furniture-type object (such as a table), the rider will perform a trick, which causes their sprite to do a little flip or otherwise spaz out via the atom controls and randomly pulls from a list of nouns and adjectives like so:
$name does a/an $adjective $noun on $object!
Adjectives: sicknasty, sick, sweet, bitchin', darkside, goofy, aggro, gnarly, mondo, backside, blindside, bomb, frontside, juicy, 180, 360, 720, totally sweet, totally sick,
Nouns: grind, aerial, cabbalerial, eggplant, rollo, flip, heel flip, kick flip, nollie kick flip, aerial, lipslide, mctwist, tailslide, finger flip, butter flip, calf wrap, g-turn, coco-slide, handstand, heli-pop, gazelle, m80, kickback, jaywalk, pogo, pressure flip, streetplant, shove-it, railslide
Once the trick is performed, the skater moves in a random direction away from the object and gains a small amount of speed and a stat called sickness. Sickness is a measure of how objectively cool you are. Skaters with high amounts of sickness gain increasing bonuses such as the ability to ollie over other players, larger and bolder font whenever they do tricks. It would be extremely good if a sickness meter popped up on the screen while you were skating. Wearing a helmet makes your sickness go up slightly slower because helmets are not cool. Sickness naturally increases while cannabis is in your system.
Beefing It
Much like with the segway or clown car, crashing into a wall, getting pushed or stunned, or (if your sickness isn't high enough to ollie over people) colliding with a person will send you and your board flying. Naturally, you take damage from falling, which is greatly aggravated if you have a clown's clumsiness gene or you're not wearing a helmet. The amount of damage you take is higher the more sickness you have. Nanotrasen was recently devastated by the loss of Tony Hawk's genetic line when his eighth-generation clone, the last of his kind, accidentally crashed and was thrown through a reinforced window and into the vacuum of space. Beefing it resets your sickness to zero.
Skateboarding is not a Crime
Skateboards should be flagged as contraband and beepsky and all the robuddies should automatically try to arrest anyone who's riding one. Obviously, security is expected to confiscate any skateboards they find, as it is extremely unsafe to use a skateboard on a fucking space station.
Tr8r Sk8r
The traitor skateboard is faster than normal and functions as a powerful bludgeoning weapon that knocks opponents down. It costs 12 telecrystals and when purchased, spawns a set of floating holographic letters (S K A T E) around the station that, if skated through by the owner of the skateboard, massively raise sickness. Instead of ollieing over people, the traitor skateboard does tricks on them, inflicting massive damage.

Here's a riderless sprite of it being ridden, and also a sprite for when no one's on it.
