Skateboards, which can be dangerous, are still popular with teens.

You must keep practicing skateboarding until you get better.

Answer 1

1. "What most skateboarders love" — noun clause (a content/noun clause functioning as the subject).
2. "which can be dangerous" — nonrestrictive (non-defining) relative clause / adjective clause (adds extra info; set off by commas).
3. "who won a recent competition" — restrictive (defining) relative clause / adjective clause (identifies which skateboarder).
4. "until you get better" — adverbial clause of time (subordinate clause introduced by the subordinating conjunction until).
