Or those amazing guys who water skim their tyres on the smooth surface of a lake

Pace
I have to admit that I do not consider that exercise to be a mark of professionalism, in fact I personally think it is reckless disregard for safety and a display of poor airmanship.

Yes, I do feel that I do have the mechanical ability to perform such a stunt...but my personal decision making process tells me the reward is not worth the risk......and I would be uncomfortable trying to explain why I was water skiing with a wheel equipped airplane if for instance the engine quit while doing it and I survived the crash.
