skateboarders
Kickflip trick performers
Skateboarders are people who ride skateboards—boards mounted on wheels, propelled by pushing against the ground.
The term covers both casual riders and those who perform tricks in skateparks or on street obstacles.
Skateboarder culture has its own fashion, music, and vocabulary: The skateboarders gathered at the halfpipe.
