ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Skateboarding trick

Sure! Today, let me explain what a skateboarding trick is and how it works!

So, you know how sometimes skateboarders jump in the air and do cool things on their board? That's a skateboarding trick! Basically, a trick is when a skateboarder makes their board do something that looks really cool and sometimes difficult.

Now, there are lots of different kinds of tricks, but they all involve the skateboarder moving their feet and body in a certain way to make the board move in a certain way. Some tricks involve jumping off ramps or stairs, while others are done on flat ground.

To do a trick, a skater first has to practice the basic movements until they become second nature. Then, they can start adding more difficulty and style to the trick. Sometimes it takes a lot of practice and patience to get a trick just right!

It's important for skateboarders to wear helmets and other protective gear when they're trying out new tricks, just in case they fall. But with lots of practice, a skateboarder can become really good at doing tricks and impress their friends and family with their skills!
