My team was recently in a chase where a gnome runner used a grapple gun to grab the back of a speeding van (I was driving and am totally oblivious in perception so I didn't even notice him).

He could definitely have used some roller skates... or maybe a parachute.  Anything would have been better than him tumbling along behind the van, all but cemented on by a gecko grip sling.

Havent you seen Dogma? Adepts on skates with sharpened metal hockey sticks. How about a whole gang of them? Call them the Icebreakers. or Penalties. Or Mighty Ducks. Flying V anyone?

I'm totally swiping that, by the way.

My current character is a Surged Minotaur with Celerity and Satyr Legs. Since I'd already gone that far, I bought her a set of custom-fit rollerblades.

Doing the math, she tops out at about 76mph. Without using Run to 'sprint.'
Also gave her the grapple-gun, because I figured I could better get away with it via the Snow Crash reference.
Life is short, the night is long, and we still have ammo.

Back To The Future, just grab the back of a truck and go.  ;D

Sorry, playing the video game series and I love they remembered that.

Nice. I didn't give Bessie cyberlegs for the skimmer discs or built-in rollerblades; to match her soft-maxed strength, agility, and body would have been problematic. As it is, I fully expect the GM to invoke a vehicle crash test at these speeds if I go too far.
