ABSTRACT:
A skateboard which is divided into front and rear sections each having a wheeled truck, the two sections being interconnected on a longitudinal pivotal axis. With one foot on each section, the rider can tilt the sections independently for very rapid turning and maneuvering with a minimum of body lean. The articulated board is adaptable to conventional skateboard trucks with resiliently mounted wheels, castered wheels, or ice skate type blades. In an enlarged form, the board can be used with the rider in prone or kneeling position, using handlebars on one section of the board for tilt control.
