'''Skateboarding slang''' is [[slang]] used by [[skateboard]]ers. Most skateboarders use different terms for different tricks and obstacles.
Most skateboarding tricks have specific names (though they usually aren't considered slang in their own right). However, many tricks have several different names, and new names and tricks are evolving every day.

Below is a list of slang terms and a brief definition.

Please note that the now-separate subcultures of skating and surfing were once extremely tight-knit and frequently crossed over, as all skaters were surfers and vice versa. Therefore, many surfer words are common parts of a skater's vocabulary, regardless of whether or not the skater is also a surfer.

==Slang terms==

;<nowiki>#</noxghasdfgefEQWTQ4WEDFRwiki> Set
:A # set (pronounced as ''a number'' + "set" refers to a set of stairs. Skaters frequently ollie off/perform flip tricks off of sets. Sets can be hard to come by, as many are privately owned. A common TQWEFERGWEFGERGFQ23R34FHYBDGFNSGdhdfvbdfgsdvgdfusage is, "let's go skate the 3-set."

;3/4 Pipe
:A half-pipe extended to the point where it resembles a full pipe with one quarter removed. It is ridden the same way as a half-pipe is ridden.

;5-0
:While the most common usage of this term is as a grind, the 5-0 grind (see [[Grinds (skateboarding)]]), it is also used to refer to the police (a play on both the trick of the same name, and Hawaii Five-0).

;Roll-in
:A type of ramp designed specifically for riding down. Skaters rarely perform tricks on these, nor do they ride up them (unless they are getting back up to the top for another run). These ramps are designed to give a skater maximum momentum as he rockets down them, so he gains enough speed to attempt large obstacles ahead.
