Going in a straight line seems simple until you hit a bump in the pavement - the control roll would normally be hand waved because it's effectively at +5 or whatever, but you're now at a significant penalty for being over your maximum speed. And may Tony Hawk help you if you hit a pothole.
I believe Aerobatics or some other appropriate motive skill can be used for control rolls when pushing the envelope. That's how this trick works for water skiing and for kids behind cars.

All true - but if you're floating in the air behind the car that's towing you, and not turning, I'm not sure what the equivalent to a bump in the pavement is going to be.
