I hear you. I used to love downhill mtn biking when I lived in the West Kootenays. There was a whole group of us that our bikes were worth significantly more than our vehicles.
Maybe you could do the happy medium and get a big bad pump for the skimmer? The skimmer body can handle a lot more than the puny pump that's on it.
