Wheels and tricks
Skateboarding is the sport or pastime of riding a skateboard—a short narrow board with small wheels at each end.
Riders perform tricks by manipulating the board with their feet: jumping, flipping, grinding along rails or ledges.
Skateboarding emerged from California surf culture in the 1950s and developed into a global youth subculture with its own fashion, music, and vocabulary.
The city built a skateboarding park under the highway overpass.
