a person who skateboards. usually wears baggy jeans and hoodies with makes such as vans, element, volcom, hurley four star and stuff like that. also wears skateshoes. people think skaters are like chavs but this is of course wrong, they also think that skaters hate authority, this is also wrong, we hate authority who tell us to stop skating for no apparent reason. skaters also speak a different language known as skater slang which compromises of words such as: "sick"--"gnarly"--"stoked" other stuff like that and the names of tricks, obstacles and parts of a board. and listen to bands which fit into the genre of skate-punk or post-hardcore.
skateboarding is not a crime!!!
skater 1: dude, i was trying to tre flip that 6 set but i binned myself pretty badly
skater 2: dude, that sucks, did you damage your setup much?
skater 1: yeah, the kingpin bent out of place, some of the griptape rubbed off and it took one of the layers off the nose
skater 2: at least you didnt snap your truck off, thats what happened to mine last week trying to kickflip feeble a knee high ledge.
