Small girl getting on for some fun on wheels (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skateboarding

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some fun on wheels' is the definition.
(skateboards have wheels)

'small girl getting on for' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'girl' becomes 'Kate' (girl's name).
'getting on for' becomes 'boarding' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
's'+'kate'+'boarding'='SKATEBOARDING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skateboarding that I've seen before include "Moving using strip of wood on wheels" , "Teenagers' pastime" , "Wheeled recreation" , "sport" , "recreational activity" .)
