Nikolas would have used Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. By releasing the compressed carbon dioxide from the fire extinguisher in one direction, there would be an equal and opposite force pushing Nikolas (and his skateboard) in the opposite direction, propelling him forward.
