A foot-deck-based vehicle, a front wheel support, and at least one accessory therefor are provided. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a foot-deck with a front end, a rear end, and at least one rear wheel proximal to the rear end. The foot-deck-based vehicle has a front wheel support comprising a pair of wheel interfaces, each of which is couplable to a front wheel, a main body extending between the wheel interfaces and coupled to the foot-deck, and at least one recess in the main body. At least one accessory is snugly securable within the at least one recess of the front wheel support to modify a resistance of the main body to bending under a bending load applied to the front wheel support through the foot-deck when the foot-deck supports a person.

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 bifurcated truck in a laterally-sliding board wheel assembly enables the freeboard to seamlessly transition from carvingas associated with a traditional skateboardto new omnidirectional motions, in which the board can easy travel forward, backwards, sideways or in any other directional combination. The wheel assembly of this invention employs a bifurcated truck system having two independent suspension arms, both operating independently from one another and from the board's castering wheels. The wheel assemblies are mirrored at each longitudinal end of the board, resulting in the board's ability to carve, slide or skidand easily transition back and forth among each of these modesproviding the rider a sense of stability and freedom commonly associated only with snowboarding.

A skateboard or longboard truck having configured to couple with a deck of the skateboard or longboard. The truck including a base and a hanger. The hanger disposed within a hanger aperture of the base. The hanger rotatably coupled with the base by a pivot assembly. The rotation of the hanger with respect to the base controlled by a compression assembly.

A steering apparatus includes a frame, a linkage, a pivot, a king pin assembly and two castors. The frame includes an extensive portion extending downward from a base plate. The linkage includes two connecting rods, a front hanger and a back hanger. The front hanger is pivotally connected to the connecting rods and includes a screw hole. The back hanger is pivotally connected to the connecting rods and includes an aperture. The pivot includes a smooth section inserted in a bore of the extensive portion and a threaded section inserted in the screw hole. The king pin assembly includes two bushings inserted in two ends of the aperture, two washers inserted in the ends of the aperture, and a king pin inserted in a cavity of the base plate, the aperture, the bushings and the washers, and then engaged with a nut. The castors are connected to the connecting rods.

A bottom structure of a roller skate includes a sole; a frame secured to the sole and including front and rear supports and two hubs disposed on the front and rear supports respectively; a pivotal member disposed in the hub; two spaced sleeves disposed in the hub wherein the sleeves are further partially disposed in the pivotal member and secured to the pivotal member; a shaft passing through the hub, the pivotal member, and a gap between the sleeves, and rigidly secured to the pivotal member; and two enlargements disposed at two ends of the shaft respectively.

A removable assembly for a skateboard comprises a base piece (1) configured for the fixing thereof to a board (40); an upper piece (7) configured for the fixing thereof in a removable manner to a wheel unit (36), the base piece (1) being coupled to the upper piece (7) such that they can rotate with respect to each other; and a torsion spring (6) arranged between the base piece (1) and the upper piece (7) to exert a force aimed at causing them to regain a neutral position.

A wheel truck assembly having two wheel trucks spaced apart on a base plate for supporting the skater's foot, wherein one wheel truck can be selectively removed from the base plate, and wherein each wheel truck has a two wheels that can be selectively and separately attached to and detached from the wheel truck.

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.
