	Skateboarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skateboarding is the act of rolling on or interacting with a skateboard.
		Skateboards may or may not have evolved from "crate scooters." Crate scooters preceded skateboards, and were essentially similar except for having a wooden crate attached to the front, which formed rudimentary handlebars.
		The modern shape of the skateboard is derived from the freestyle boards of the 1980s with a largely symetrical shape and relatively narrow width.

	Skateboarding - MSN Encarta
		A skateboard consists of four wheels attached to two axles called trucks, which are mounted to the bottom of a wooden board called a deck.
		To ride a skateboard, enthusiasts place both feet on the board about shoulder’s width apart, so that one foot is in front of the other and the rider is standing sideways.
		To start moving, or to increase speed when the skateboard is already moving, most riders keep the front foot on the board for control, then use the back foot to push off on the ground.
