Carbs will give you energy but you need to eat them several hours before exercise, like running or skateboarding, otherwise they may make you feel sluggish. A great source of carbs is found in pasta, any kind.
Better than any single food though is maintaining a healthy diet. "You are what you eat," as they say. A steady balanced diet, including all four food groups -- dairy, meat, grains, vegetables/fruits-- will build strong muscles, bones and give you more energy than you thought imaginable. Try to steer cleer of sugary foods, sodas and empty calorie foods like cookies and chips.
Happy skating!
