What is "skitching"

vb. (present participle of skitch English)

Skitching ( abbreviated from "ski-hitching" or "skate-hitching", pron: \ˈskē-chiŋ\) is the act of hitching a ride by holding onto a motor vehicle while riding on a skateboard, roller skates or bicycle. It is also sometimes referred to as bumper hitching, bumpershining, poggying, or bizzing, bumper jumping, and hooky bobbing, the latter three referring primarily to the equivalent done on icy or snowy streets without a skateboard or roller skates, but skitching does not include a snowboard; the proper wording for that is snitching. In addition, skitching can be performed on a bicycle or Inner tube.
