    ..and why?

    I have no idea.

    I thought of a cheetah, but reckon then would fall off ( or be caught cheating )

    A fish is pretty ergonomic so might have a chance.

    A wasp would probably find it hard to stay on the board.

    A penguin would be good, but awfully slow.

    A swan, I reckon that could be the winner. Good strong legs, a graceful figure and it's white.

    Maybe, but they'd have to coordinate all those little legs at the same time. The size of the skateboard would also be slow. This would make it hard to prove that they were the best, as if they were in competition with a larger skateboard they would be at a distinct disadvantage.

    Not a hope. The maracas would slow them down.

    The board would have to be reinforced or the aquarium would snap it.

    A honey badger. Everyone would get out of the way and if it fell off and anyone laughed they'd be devoured. Theyd also skate the šhît out of it because they do not give a fcuk!!

    Cats, they're agile furry little guys, and their springy back paws would greatly assist them in pulling off an Ollie.

    A gibbon. Good long arms, they could just sit down and propel themselves with their hands.

    If they start using their hands, it turns into a street luge, not a skateboard. Which would actually be equally amazing

    Birds would make the best skateboarders.

    Tony Hawks name is no coincidence

    Whoever said ostrich is the winner

    Although apes with their knuckle dragging arms might give them a run for their money
