1. He likes to ride a skateboard.

2. He likes to take a skateboard.
[#1 is correct. What other verbs can we use instead of 'ride'? Can we use 'take'?]

I don't know of any synonym for "ride" a skateboard. However, "skateboard" can also be a verb -- such as "I'll skateboard to the park."

you can use the words:

drive, mongo*, move around while riding on skateboard, steering around while riding the skateboard

*mongo is most skaters push their skateboards with their back foot, but sometimes skaters find it easier to push with their front foot instead. This is called pushing "mongo."

Yes, you can use different verbs instead of 'ride' to describe someone's action with a skateboard. Some common alternatives could be:

1. He likes to skateboard.
2. He likes to skate.
3. He likes to cruise on a skateboard.
4. He likes to glide on a skateboard.
5. He likes to roll on a skateboard.
6. He likes to do tricks on a skateboard.

However, 'take' is not typically used in this context to describe the action of using a skateboard. The verb 'take' is more commonly used when someone is taking or bringing something with them, rather than actively using it. For example, you can say "He likes to take his skateboard to the park," which means he enjoys bringing his skateboard along with him.
