Did the chimp really skateboard?


Did the chimp really skateboard? Or was it SFX/CG/models?

The chimp actually did ride the board, but they actually had a chimp costume that Ryan Sheckler wore and he skated and did the ally jumps and stuff like that.

Yes, he did. He is actually on Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and he holds the record for the world's first and only skateboarding chimp.
