ABSTRACT:
A two-wheeled skateboard includes a board which is generally planar between a first position and a second position. A front wheel assembly is attached to the board at the first position and consists of a single front wheel. The front wheel assembly includes a front wheel support connected to the front wheel, a tension member connected to the wheel support and connected to the board at a connected position between the first position and the second position, and a rear wheel assembly attached to the board at the second load bearing position consisting of a single rear wheel. A clevis is connected to the tension member by a first clevis axis and connected to the wheel support by a second clevis axis such that a restoring tension is applied to the front wheel towards a longitudinal axis of the board through the first and second clevis axis while the front wheel assembly pivots with respect to the board. An adjustable member is connected to the elastic tension member and the board such that the amount of force exerted by the tension member on the front wheel support may be increased or decreased through adjustment thereof. The skateboard may optionally provide attachment for a blade assembly and a ski assembly.
