This page will show you where to get free skateboarding games online. These games are playable on your PC or Apple computer, and some are also accessible on portable devices, like iPhones. Two great sites to find skateboarding games on are AddictingGames.com and Shockwave.com.

GMax SkateBoarding is one of the most popular free online games. To get started, you choose your board and half pipe location. Then, use your arrow keys to maneuver the skateboard (the down arrow will give you a boost in power). The object is to perform tricks and get the highest score you can.

Downhill Jam is another popular game, and it is a product of the skate shoe company Enties. As the name implies, the game is played by rolling down a city hill, and collecting cash and (of course) shoes as you go. The game may be simplistic, but it also gets fairly challenging.http://skateboard.about.com/od/games/tp/Top_Free_Skateboarding_Games.htm

The sport of skateboarding originated in the 1940's/1950's by surfers looking for a way to challenge themselves when the waves were unsurfable. It became popular in the 1970's, and has only grown more widespread since then. Today, skateboards are used to perform stunts, compete professionally, or just to get around town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skateboarding
