ABSTRACT:
An articulated skateboard having two or three separate platform sections connected end-to-end with conventional skate wheel trucks under the end platform sections. The articulation structure between platform sections comprises a combination of pivoting and resilient spring members enabling universal angular flexing which absorb and return heavy vertical forces during jumping skateboard maneuvers and provide relatively lighter resilient flexibility to permit relative horizontal angular movement between platform sections to facilitate steering maneuvers in response to foot actuation of the platform sections. Pivoting action in the articulation structure is about a pivot axis at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal and in a vertical plane containing the front-to-rear direction of the skateboard.
