one who rides a skateboard and has fun doing it. skaters can be any kind of person; punk, prep, jock, criminal, nerd... whatever. skateboarding has room for all kinds of people, and most of us won't discriminate based on anything but your love for skateboarding.
however, since skateboarding has recently rocketed in popularity, it has now become 'cool'. so now, you have to deal with those who are only doing it to be 'cool'. these people are not really skateboarders.
if you are the other kind of skater (the for real one, and you know who you are) i have some words of wisdom for you. when you get kicked out of a skatespot, don't mouth off to the cops no matter how much of an idiot they really are. if skaters want to get accepted in todays world (which seems impossible right now) then we need to act like civilized people. if thats how we act, that's how we'll be treated, which means less getting kicked out of skate spots and more riding of the skateboard.

skateboarders are usually non-competative people, because competition in skateboarding is fairly low-key; its not really taken seriously. ESPN tried to make it into some dramatic rivalry between the top skaters when in fact they are all friends just goofing around. there's no hating.

if you happen to be an electronics student in high school and you can't stand the music they play on the bus, find a schematic for a tunable FM transmitter. then when you get on the bus, plug in your cd player and tune it to the frequency of the station the driver is playing! hopefully your signal will be strong enough to overcome the other one coming in. It great to see the looks on other peoples faces when all of the sudden a bill cosby comedy routine comes in over 50 cent hahaha

A worthless subordinant of a pimp. Usually sent to do dangerous chores which the pimp considers to dangerous to perform himself. (from California slang)
John, the pimp who lives down the street, sent his shoobie Mark to the drughouse to score drugs for his prostitutes.
