short for drum 'n' bass. a style of electronica that incorporates fast tempos (150~180 bpm) syncopated breakbeats, and a heavy bassline. can incorporate various styles of other music; jazz, funk, hip-hop, are the most common. Sometimes called the 'black man's techno'. often times the word is used interchangibly with jungle, but a lot of people think that jungle and dnb are different. sub-genres include ambient dnb, techstep, 2-step, darkstep, etc. a man named roni size, who isn't that popular now, basically started the whole style of music. its cool.
if you want to hear some dnb, check out:

tony hawk is probably the most popular skateboarder of all time. he is noted for inventing over 80 tricks, and the most popular one of these is the 900.
many claim he's the best skateboarder, but most skaters believe that no one deserves such a title since there are so many guys who are as good as tony that it's impossible to make a comparison like that.
he's also the founder of the tony hawk foundation, an organization that raises money and builds skateparks for kids in need of them.
some hate him because he endorses mainstream companies, while others are die hard fans. any way you look at it, you have to admit that he's for real and he's highly responsible for the way skateboarding is percieved by the public today.
i suggest reading his autobiography for more info, as this definition does not do him justice.

tony hawk became a pro skater when he was 14. he was an outcast, as all skaters were of that time period. he skated because he loved it. little did he know at the time, his persistence through the death of skating in the early 90's and all of his other struggles would end up rewarding him with an amazing career.

skatebaord terminology - to turn, more specifically, in the direction where after 90 degrees of spinning you are facing backwards, hence, backside.
also refers to the direction you are facing when approaching an obstacle. for example, if you roll up to a curb and it's behind you, any grind that you do on the curb without 180ing into it will be backside (including noseslides and boardslides...)
