In the lessons

In everyday life skateboarders use skate parks, ramps and pavements; safety lessons say to wear a helmet and pads and not ride on busy roads. Skateboarding has been an Olympic sport since 2021, and some Olympic skateboarders were children. Tricks have names like «ollie» and «kickflip».
