You're the second person to post about speed.
I'm still trying to figure the dynamics about this.
Any idea?

I'm no physicist, but imagine it's a mixture of propelling forward rather than stepping (covers more area) and the heightened speed needed to maintain balance and momentum.
It's a different muscle group (a bit) than running - that plus not being torturous allows longer duration and extra enthusiasm in each launch...at least for me.

Cartwheels ... Nah, I'm not gonna even try ;-)
It's not that bad on your knees, well at least mine don't complain compared to if I tried running these days.

Damn, I forgot all about skipping...I need to make some time to go do this again. I'm sure nobody would mind a middle aged bearded man skipping around town.

If you threw in a whistle and a shopping bag while at the mall ... You'd be noticed but would probably be envied.
I wouldn't really suggest doing that since I haven't even been brave enough to do that.
A kid in tow, well screw everybody else!

I've found the relationship to be the opposite - the only way I'd be able to willingly skip is if I was already feeling good

Interesting ...
I'm obvious childish but the benefit is that I'm consistently guessed at being 5-6 years (sometimes more) younger than I really am.
