ABSTRACT:
This skateboard has a central section which is supported by longitudinally spaced wheel units under its end portions. A forward extension unit connects with the forward end portion of the central section and is preferably of arcuate shape, in longitudinal section, and extends forwardly and upwardly. The length of the forward extension unit is in the order of about one-half the length of the central section. Connecting means, as holes, are provided in the forward extension unit so the lower end portion of an operator support rope may be connected with a selected one thereof and thus the angular relation of the support rope and the operator's arm engaging the rope to the plane of the forward extension and the central section may be maintained in the range of 60.degree., with a variation of plus or minus 7.degree., and this for all average people regardless of their individual heights. By maintaining the said angular relation of the support rope, a rider may lean backwards and strain against the support rope and then shift a part of his or her body weight in controlling the skateboard and maintain the desired angular relationship between the support rope to the skateboard. An operator of the skateboard enhances his or her body control of the skateboard by riding with both feet on the central section and with a portion of his or her body weight straining the operator support rope.
