A skateboard-deck wall hanger includes a base that has a central portion and a plurality of legs connected to and extending away from the central portion. Each leg of the plurality of legs is oriented to extend toward a wall when the base is mounted on the wall. The skateboard-deck wall hanger also includes four posts to be inserted into four respective holes on a skateboard deck. The four posts extend outward from the base and have a spacing that corresponds to a spacing of the four holes. The four posts are oriented to extend away from the wall when the base is mounted on the wall.

Improved skateboards and methods of obtaining or providing skateboards with improved trucks. Trucks have two axles or axes, two primary wheels, and two secondary wheels, and skateboards have eight wheels, four in front and four at the rear portion of the skateboard. The four primary wheels support most or all of the weight of the skateboard when the skateboard is on a flat surface, and the two secondary wheels support the weight of one portion of the skateboard (e.g., front or rear) when the primary wheels cross a crack (e.g., a sidewalk contraction joint). In various embodiments, the secondary wheels are located outboard of the primary wheels. Further, in a number of embodiments, the axis of rotation or axle of the primary wheels remains parallel to that of the secondary wheels, whether the skateboard is going straight or turning.

A skateboard includes a deck, at least a front wheel set and a rear wheel set. The front wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to a front end thereof, includes at least one rigid and rotatable front wheel frame and at least two front wheels. The rear wheel set, which is arranged at a bottom of the deck at a position close to the rear end thereof, includes at least one rigid and non-rotatable rear wheel frame and at least two rear wheels. The outer side of the wheel is circular or arc-shaped. The structure of the skateboard allows the user to change a center of gravity and to lift the sides of the board with foot, so as to only rely on the outer arc of the left or right front and rear wheels to slide, while the rotatable front wheel frame in the left or right side may still be utilized for rotating in the forward direction, which allows a skateboard experience of forward or changing the travelling direction.

A street paddle assembly for propelling, balancing, and slowing the user upon a skateboard includes a shaft, a tube, and a foot. The shaft comprises a plurality of sections, which are selectively mutually engageable so that the sections are linearly oriented. A connector engaged to each of the plurality of sections is positioned to retain the sections in proximity when the sections are mutually disengaged. The foot is engaged to a lower end of the shaft and can frictionally engage a surface. The tube is selectively engageable to an upper end of the shaft and extends bidirectionally therefrom. The tube and the shaft can be grasped in a respective hands of a user, positioning the user to utilize the assembly. Each of a pair of caps selectively engageable to a respective opposed endpoint of the tube retain an article positioned in the tube.

A truck includes a base plate, a hanger, a kingpin, and a bushing assembly. The base plate includes a coupling portion and a contact portion. The kingpin is disposed within a portion of the hanger to rotatably couple the hanger to the base plate. The bushing assembly includes at least one bushing disposed in a recess of the contact portion and in contact with the hanger. The bushing assembly including a bushing adjustment coupled to at least one of the base plate or the hanger and configured to selectively engage the at least one bushing to transition the bushing assembly between a first configuration in which the at least one bushing exerts a first force in response to rotation of the hanger and a second configuration in which the at least one bushing exerts a second force different from the first force in response to rotation of the hanger.

A ground-engaging devices that is capable of sustained rolling, stable braking, secure standing, and walking. In one preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled footwear device. In another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled footwear platform. In yet another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled artificial foot.

An apparatus for receiving one or more activity attachments including a deck having one or more openings along a long axis of the deck and between the top surface and the bottom surface of the deck. Each of the one or more openings having a circular aperture for receiving an accessory of a set of accessories. Each accessory of the set of accessories providing an activity for a user of the activity. Each accessory having an attachment platform configured to attach the accessory to the board. The attachment platform having a locking mechanism to engaging with a complementary locking mechanism of the board.

Novel side rails for self-stabilizing, one-wheeled electric skateboards and related products are disclosed. The angled frame rails of this invention and disclosure lower the center of gravity at the contact points—i.e. a rider's feet on the footpads—by as much as possible without losing any clearance at the front and rear bumpers, and tilt the gyroscope to change the zero-degree level default position. In order to achieve this, the inventive rails herein change to a downward tilt as soon as possible after the axle bolt connection points, then tilt back up before the footpad decks and continue through the front and rear of the vehicle. In one embodiment, a five-degree downward tilt of the rails allows for an approximately one-half inch drop in the center of gravity of the vehicle, thus increasing speed, stability, and safety.

In an aspect there is provided a swing scooter, comprising a frame, a steering member, a front wheel, at least two support legs, and at least two platforms. A rear wheel support is pivotally attached each support leg. A rear wheel is rotatably attached to each rear wheel support. Each platform is movably attached to an associated support leg, and positioned for supporting a foot of a user. Each platform has a longitudinal platform axis and is movable between a first position in which the platform is angled down laterally towards a first lateral side of the swing scooter, and a second position in which the platform is angled down laterally towards a second lateral side of the swing scooter. The platform is movable to the first and second positions by movement of the foot of the user.

Skateboard trucks and skateboards using the improved trucks are disclosed. Truck according to the present invention can comprising a hanger with wheels. A base assembly is included having an at least partially hollow housing section. The hanger is rotationally mounted to the base assembly. The hanger also comprises a hanger portion that is within partially hollow housing section. Compressible spring elements are included within the partially hollow housing section, wherein the hanger portion operates on the compressible spring elements when the hanger rotates in relation to the base assembly. Skateboard are also disclosed that utilize the truck. One or more trucks are mounted to the skateboard deck with the truck having internal compressible spring elements that are compressed when turning the skateboard. The internal compressible spring elements also expand to return the truck to a neutral position when the skateboard is not turning.
