Skateboard

A skateboard is a narrow wheeled platform (usually made of plywood), used for recreation and transportation. It was developed in the twentieth century by surfers, who first made them using rollerskates. They are typically part of western youth culture.

Use

Skateboards are used for skateboarding and skateboarding tricks. A person who rides a skateboard is a skateboarder or a skater. Skateboarders may wear protective clothing, including but not limited to helmets, gloves, knee and elbow pads or wrist braces especially when riding in skateparks (where it may be required by skatepark rules). A substantial amount (in fact, virtually all) of street riders scorn all safety equipment, citing better mobility and lack of need, even though it's a very dangerous sport.
