Skateboarding is a sporting activity in which an individual rides on a short, narrow board, usually made of some composite material, to which are attached a pair of small wheels at each end of the board. The rider propels himself or herself by placing one foot on the board and pushing on the ground with the other foot. The rider typically stands in an upright or crouching position on the board, from which position any number of tricks can be performed.
People ride skateboards for a variety of reasons, including pure recreation, as a means of
transportation,
as a
type of
artistic display, or as a career as a professional skateboarder.
