The momentum of any moving object is

                     (the object's mass) times (the object's speed).

If the truck has the same mass as 10,000 skates, and you want
one skate to have the same momentum as the truck, then all you
need to do is make the skate move 10,000 times as fast as the
truck is moving.  Nothing to it !
