ABSTRACT:
A wheeled riding apparatus having as a base embodiment a flexible skateboard including a flat board member, a pair of trucks and an elliptical leaf spring member. The leaf spring member is attached to each truck and is curved to support the flat board member when the weight of a rider is placed upon the board. The flat board member can be made thin and flexible, and, in combination with the leaf spring, allows an agile rider to perform dramatic stunts. In an alternative embodiment, a scooter having a board member with a sunken center section, a pair of trucks, a leaf spring with a compound curve and a T-handle is shown. The scooter incorporates the flexible board and leaf spring combination of the skateboard and lowers the center of gravity of adding a sunken midsection to the board to enhance rider stability and control. The added handle also aids in rider stability.
