skateboard
Wheeled kick board
A skateboard is a narrow board mounted on four small wheels, ridden by standing and pushing with one foot against the ground.
Skateboarders perform tricks by manipulating the board in the air or grinding along rails and ledges.
The activity emerged from California surf culture in the 1950s and has since become both a recreational pastime and a competitive sport.
As a verb, to skateboard means to ride one: He skateboards to school every day.
