SKATEBOARD Meaning and Definition

  1. A skateboard is a Type of small, flat board that is primarily made of wood or other durable materials such as plastic or metal, with four wheels mounted under it. It is designed for recreational purposes and transportation, especially in urban areas. Skateboards are typically used for performing various maneuvers, tricks, or stunts by riders, known as skateboarders, who stand on the board and propel themselves by pushing against the ground with one foot while resting the other on the board. They can also be used for downhill racing or to traverse terrain in a smoother manner than walking.

    The skateboard's deck is the main part of the board, often rectangular in shape, and serves as the platform for the rider to stand on. It is usually concave in the middle, allowing the rider to have better control and stability. The four wheels, often made of polyurethane, are attached to the board by trucks, which consist of a metal axle and a hanger. Skateboards also feature grip tape on the top surface to provide traction for the rider's feet.

    Skateboarding has gained popularity as a sport and means of recreation since its inception in the 1940s, evolving from homemade boards made from basic materials to advanced and specialized equipment available today. Skateboarding culture has grown substantially, encompassing various styles, disciplines, and competitions.

Etymology of SKATEBOARD

The word "skateboard" originated from the combination of two words: "skate" and "board".

The term "skate" can be traced back to the early 17th century, derived from the Dutch word "schaats" or "scheede", meaning a flat blade or runner used to slide on ice. It later evolved into the English word "skate", referring to a type of shoe or boot with metal blades attached to the bottom, used for gliding on ice or other surfaces.

The word "board" has its roots in Old English, with the term "bord" meaning a flat, rigid piece of wood or other material.

In the 20th century, as people began to experiment with attaching wheels to wooden planks for recreational purposes, the combination of these two words led to the term "skateboard" to describe this new form of transportation and sport.
