Beware, World! Marine Sk8rboyz rolling into your 'hood!Defensetech.org is on the story, passing along this caption from the DOD's Defense Visual Information Center:
LCPL Chad Codwell, from Baltimore, Maryland, with Charlie Company 1st Battalion 5th Marines, carries an experimental urban combat skateboard which is being used for maneuvering inside buildings in order to detect tripwires and sniper fire. This mission is in direct support of Urban Warrior '99.And if this doesn't work by itself, a combined-arms assault using both skateboards and Avril Lavigne would be unstoppable.
