How do skate board wheels work?

You push with your back foot. An ollie is done by pretty much jumping, but it's like a lay up in basketball. You jump with your back leg. then after you learned the ollie, you flick your foot and do different moves to do different tricks.
The skateboard works by being a strong, yet durable piece of wood that is easy to ride on if you get one from a professional skateshop. The trucks are responsible for holding the wheels in place while at the same time being turnable, so that's how you move your board. if you want to turn left, for example, what you do is lean to your left. The wheels, well, i think you know what those do

What is figure skating?

Figure skating is a winter sport that takes place on a sheet of ice. Figure skaters wear skates made usually of a leather boot with a metal blade attached on each foot. There are three main figure skating events: Singles, Pairs, and Ice Dance. For Singles, there is a separate male and female event.

In Singles, skaters perform two programs, a short program and a long program. In each, the skater must complete elements such as jumps and spins, and is judged on how well they are performed and the artistic quality of the performance.

In Pairs, a male and female skater perform together, and must complete elements similar to singles. Some differences include that there are 'throw' jumps that must be completed in addition to side-by-side jumps, and lifts. Pairs is generally considered the most difficult figure skating event. Pairs are required to compete in a short and long program as well. They are judged on how well the jumps and spins are performed, the artistic quality, and the unison of the skaters in jumps, spins, and footwork sequences.

Ice dance is very similar to ballroom dancing, except on ice. There are no jumps or throws performed, and the lifts cannot be overhead. There are three programs needed to be shown- the Compulsories, the Original Dance, and the Free Dance. Skaters are judged on mostly artistic quality, as well as unison.

360 degree turn in figure skating called?

If you mean a jump, it could refer to any of the 360 degree rotation jumps (single salchow, toe-loop, loop, flip, or lutz). If you mean a turn without leaving the ice it could be a single rotation twizzle (a turn that rotates and travels down the ice continuously on one foot) or, if it's on two feet: a turn that is generally referred to simply as a "360".

How many players in skating?

At full strength, each team has 6 players on the ice (5 skaters and a goalie). However, when a team commits a penalty, the violating player must leave the ice for a specified amount of time (2 minutes for a minor penalty and 5 minutes for a major penalty). That player sits in the penalty box. There is no limit to how many players a team can have in the penalty box at one time (other than the 20 players they are allowed to dress), but a team can only be a maximum of 2-men down at one time. That means that, if both teams have 2 or men in the box at one time (and they aren't concurrent penalties), there can be as few as 8 players on the ice at one time (3 skaters per side and a goalie for each team as goalies don't serve their own penalties). There can be no less than that.
