I dunno about you, but I've heard a few complaints around about the uselessness of the skateboard and how its speed is the same as running; so what better way to solve that issue than to modify the speed of the skateboard! This mod changes the skateboard speed from 0.75 to 1.15, but you can easily change it to whatever you want! (just be sure to reverse the endian [aka DCBA])
