ABSTRACT:
A skateboard particularly adapted for making small radius, sharply banked turns. The skateboard body is provided with an upturned curvilinear transverse cross section with the lowest point in the transverse cross section being disposed at approximately the longitudinal centerline of the skateboard body. The highest points of the transverse cross section are disposed at approximately the outboard edge of the skateboard body. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the curvilinear transverse cross section is symmetric along the longitudinal centerline of the skateboard body and extends longitudinally along part of, or the entire length of the skateboard body. In alternate embodiments of the invention, the skateboard body may be provided with a curvilinear transverse cross section approximated by a plurality of linear cross section segments. The skateboard body constructed according to the present invention is particularly adapted for making small radius, sharply banked turns, since the upturned curvilinear transverse cross section provides greater wheel travel with a lower center of gravity than is possible with conventional skateboard body designs. With maximum wheel travel increased, tighter, or smaller radius turns are possible. Also, the curvilinear transverse cross section allows the feet of the rider to more closely parallel the riding surface.
