Term for a word "nollie"

Question

In skateboarding, a nollie, short for "nose ollie", is an ollie executed at the front of the board while the rider is positioned in his/her natural stance.
Is there a term for those kind of words? Words that are not official English words? Not sure how to describe this and I don't think this is slang.

The word seems to be "jargon"
MW:

jargon noun
1 : the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group
sports jargon

Or, in your case, skateboarding jargon.
From Wikipedia

Marnell executes a "switch frontside flip" at the Melbourne Museum location, described as "gnarly" (skateboarding jargon for something that is extraordinarily good ...)

More informally, skateboarding talk/speech/language.
