'''Skateboarding slang''' is [[slang]] used by [[skateboard]]ers to discuss skateboarding. Most skateboarders use different terms for different tricks and obstacles.

=== Ollie ===
Old school slang for a classic jumping manouvre.

=== Nollie ===
Ollie off the nose. Can be used in front of most other tricks (Example: Nolle Kickflip)
(contracted; show full)The # could be any number, but it always refers to a set of stairs. The number is the amount of stairs the set contains. A stairway with 4 stairs would be called a 4-set.

== Miscellaneous Slang ==

To bail is to fall off a skateboard whilst attempting to perform a trick. The phrase "wipeout" means the same thing on a surfboard.

Posers are people who adopt the fashion of skateboarders without actually skateboarding, or even be interested in skateboarding.

=== Gouranga(!) ===
An exclamation made after pulling a really difficult trick. Originating from the game [[Grand Theft Auto (game)|Grand Theft Auto]].

=== Jitters ===
''Jitter'' is a slang term used in parts of the [[United Kingdom]] for people who adopt the fashion of skateboarders but do not skate. They do generally have an interest in skating, however. Jitters are, as a social grouping, often seen as 'against' [[chav]]s, another youth group in the UK. 

Jitters are assocaited with [[pop punk]] and ([[nu-metal|nu-]]) [[metal (music)|metal]] music, and are - like their chav counterparts - highly influenced by [[USA|American]] culture. Popular artists include [[Green Day]], [[Tenacious D]], [[Nirvana]] and [[System of a Down]].

=== Faceplant ===
Any bail in which skater's face hits the ground. Comes from tricks such as noseplant and tailplant.

=== Credit Card ===
Extremely painful bail where the nose or tail of the board goes in between the male skaters [[testes]] and [[buttocks]]. The name obviously comes from swiping a [[credit card]] through a card reading machine.
