Have you ever tried skateboarding which involves performing tricks using a skateboard

I have never tried but some people consider it a recreational activity, an art form, a job, or a method of transportation even
I think I would use it as transportation if I was any good at it. I walk to work, so it would be nice to get there a little quicker. 
in 2016 it was announced that skateboarding wouldl be represented in the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan
Wow! that's pretty cool Will it still be part of the X Games?
oh i am sure it will.  The first skateboards were constructed with wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels attached to the bottom

), which formed rudimentary handlebars. The boxes turned into planks, similar to the skateboard decks of today. 
Skateboarding, as we know it, was probably born sometime in the late 1940s, or early 1950s, when surfers in California wanted something to do when the waves were flat. This was called "sidewalk surfing" – a new wave of surfing on the sidewalk as the sport of surfing became highly popular. No one knows who made the first board; it seems that several people came up with similar ideas
