Sky-surfing is a fictional sport practiced in the world of the British ''Judge Dredd'' comic books, often featuring the champion sky-surfer Chopper. It is like ordinary surfing, but is done on a surfboard rigged with anti-gravity that floats in the air. The surfer stands on the board and controls its speed with a foot pad on the board's surface. Whilst not illegal in and of itself, it is implied that there is a minimum height limit in Mega-City One as Low level Sky Surfing is a listed crime. Championship sky-surfing, such as in the "Oz" storyline, often involves racing on sky-surfboards through obstacles such as the rigging of a sailing ship or a factory's machines. As can be imagined, it is a very dangerous sport. In ''The Rookie's Guide to Crazes'', a supplement for the Judge Dredd D20 System RPG, Sky-Surfing is the first craze covered. It reveals the history of the sport (such as the fact it was invented by a juve named Bruce O'Connel in Oz) and details the various championship races: *The King's Challenge, held in Luxor City, one of the Four Wonders of the Modern World *The Shogun Cup, held in Hondo City in Japan *The Le Mans Open, held in Euro-City, not regarded very highly because of the many difficulties the location presents, such as the fact that speaking anything other than French is a crime *The Montezuma 3000, held in South America *The Henley Regatta, held in Brit-Cit *The Supersurf, the grand-championship tournament and most important race of all held in Oz from Supersurf 8 onwards. Other Skysurf events of note (as mentioned in ''2000 AD'') are: *The All-Europa Crown *The Baltic Masters ==Notable Skysurf Champions== *Dak Goodvibes, winner of Supersurf 1 *Yogi Yakamoto,winner of Supersurf 6 *Marlon 'Chopper' Shakespeare, winner of Supersurf 7 & 13 *Jug McKenzie, winner of Supersurf 8, 9 & 10 *WipeOut Jones, winner of Supersurf 12 *Cyril 'Lord' Bungay, winner of The 2109 All-Europa Crown *Jurgen Hasslinger, winner of the 2110 Baltic Masters 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sky-surfer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
