Street skateboarding

Street skateboarding is a style of skateboarding performed on urban-style obstacles such as stairs, rails, ledges, and ramps, for recreation or competition.

Ollie: A skateboard jump in which the rider lifts the board from the ground without using the hands. The ollie supplies the lift behind many street tricks, from stair gaps to rail approaches.
Street League Skateboarding: A professional skateboarding competition series founded in 2010. Its contest format helped establish street skateboarding as a global professional sport.
Skateboarding: An activity and sport in which people ride and perform maneuvers on skateboards. Street skating is one branch of skateboarding, distinct from disciplines such as vert and park.
Skateboarding and urban space: The relationship between skateboarding, built environments, and the rules governing public spaces. Street skaters treat ordinary urban features as terrain, prompting both adaptation and restrictions.
Kickflip: A skateboard trick in which the board completes one lengthwise rotation beneath the rider. Street skaters add this board rotation to jumps and obstacle transfers.
Skateboarding at the Summer Olympics: The Olympic skateboarding events, which include street and park disciplines. The Olympic street event brought the discipline to the Games beginning in Tokyo 2020.
Vert skateboarding: A skateboarding discipline centered on aerial maneuvers on a vertical ramp. Vert developed around purpose-built ramps, unlike street skating’s urban obstacles.
Skateboarding and urban design: The study and practice of designing cities and public spaces in relation to skateboarding. Skate-stoppers and skate-friendly features show how street skating affects design decisions.
Grind: A skateboard trick in which the trucks slide along an edge or rail. Rails and ledges turn truck contact into a defining street-skating maneuver.
Skateboarding video: A film or video documenting skateboard tricks, sessions, or skateboarding culture. Filmed street parts preserve tricks and locations beyond live contests.
