Some of you probably think that these MotoGP riders must ride some pretty monstrous bikes to get some kicks in their free time...

Instead, in the case of Marco Simoncelli, often considered the craziest rider on the grid, we see that he finds an adrenaline rush riding a modified skateboard downhill on his back.  If you don't believe us just check out the photo, where Sic even donned his full race leathers for the occasion.

OK, moving on to something a little more serious, Simoncelli has also decided to redesign his personal website.  This is what he had to say about it:

“It's been a little over a year since I launched my site www.marcosimoncelli.it, and I felt the need to make a big change, completely updating the site to allow greater interaction between you and me!  With the new www.58marcosimoncelli.it, I, along with the guys from Retina and Drudi Performance, hope to have achieved that goal!  The site will be constantly evolving... and we hope to keep improving it day after day!”
