                          of the skateboard.

                          pushed. And there is forward motion when front foot is

                           dragged in the forward direction.

                        . Jump off pushing the tail by rear foot and giving the skating a

                          forward motion by dragging the front foot. The skate along with

                          both feet are in the air.
