Answer:

The maximum amount of kinetic energy the skateboarder can have is entirely dependent on the amount of potential energy of the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the skateboarder moves, her potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (KE), or the energy of motion as her position changes along the track and the velocity changes.
