Can you declair an Eldar skimmer as 'popped up', so as to avoid taking a dangerous terrain test on the middle stop of a Double action?

this is from the neweist skimmer rules:
A skimmer may declare that it is popping up at the start of any action, which includes movement, including, as an exception, when the skimmer goes into overwatch. Popping up is movement, which means a skimmer may not pop up and take a sustained fire action or a marshall action, which does not include movement. Popping up counts as movement for the purposes of triggering firing by enemy on overwatch. A skimmer that has popped up, ?pops down? at theconclusion of the action.
AND
A skimmer that has popped up is assumed to be flying high enough that nearby intervening terrain which is closer to the skimmer than the target unit does not block the line of fire.
so as your assumed to be higher than the terrain you would not have to take a dangerous terrain test.

Yep. Like pulsar quoted, if you're popped up, that's for the whole action - moves and all.
At least that's the spirit of the rule... it might be possible to rules lawyer the text about ending a move in terrain to try to force someone to take a check, but that's just lame.

Thought so... I think it could be clearer to include a notation about being popped up during a double/triple move in the dangerous terrain test paragraph though.
