Who is this "Skie" and why didn't the show have more extreme sports based characters?

This isn't a miniseries, it got a full season, and has been renewed for another. And the Honest Trailer style didn't really work here. I think there's a good reason they don't do them for TV show very often. It's tough to equate a movie trailer and a TV one.

Honest review
You have met the Kingdom of Joss Whedon, King of the nerds, a kingdom filled of fantastic creatures like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America. In a world now filled with such dangerous creatures, meet now the police force that will make sure that law & order prevail: six guys without any superpower at all.
A superhero miniseries, with hardly any superheroes in it. A spy miniseries, with hardly any detective work in it. A science fiction miniseries, with hardly any interesting techs or weapons in it. "But this is an icer. Triple the stopping power and a much cooler... name". Sell it on E-Bay, dude.
The team is led by Phil Coulson, a man that proved that the might of an Asgardian god is insignificant next to the Power of the Fandom. He is assisted by Melinda May, an agent with the hostility and combat prowess of Xena Warrior Princess, but not the boobs or the skirt. Skye, an orphan teenager living in a van, who inexplicably knows how to hack even SHIELD and the Centipede organization. Ward, a grown up man who falls in love with Skye, and manages to cause so much controversy over other things he does, that nobody cares to accuse him of child molestation. Fitz, Simmons' wacky sidekick, and Simmons, Fitz' wacky sidekick. And Nick Fury, who would defy even the laws of science to save his friend. Oh, get a room you two.
They will team up against Raina, a woman with egg eyes and a morbid obsession on superhumans and... flowers. The Clairvoyant, the mystery villain behind everything, who had fans wondering for months wondering about his identity, and with theories that spanned all the Marvel Universe... unless you know the unwritten rules of miniseries reveals, in which case the candidates could be counted with a hand. A bunch of misfits who get instant super powers just by holding a staff. And a man with psychic powers, constrained to a chair... and who is not called Charles Xavier.
Starring: The Glue. Ward in the Skye with Mayamonds. Leopold Simmons. Jenna Fitz.
