How do you stop it flying off sideways at any point?
A skateboard has huge lateral resistance, due to its wheels being firmly in contact with the ground. This will be like trying to skateboard on a frictionless surface.
The back to the future boards had sideway resistance too, or Marty would not have been able to get going in a straight line without years of practice.
No wonder you don't see anyone actually using it - How would you get it to turn once it was going? It would just spin ...perhaps some kind of punting.
