One embodiment of a skateboarding balance device where an elongated structure (10) has four straps (16L, 16R) disposed thereunder said structure. This pad (10) is composed of flexible material. The straps (16L, 16R) provide for a method of securely attaching said pad (10) to a skateboard (SK1) by means of velcro (20L, 18R). The straps are made of material with elasticity.

A personal mobility device includes a frame connected to at least one wheel, a connection part on the frame, a boarding part connected to the connection part to be tiltable, a first sensor disposed on the frame to measure an inclination of the frame, and a second sensor disposed on the boarding part to measure an inclination of the boarding part.

The invention relates to a sports item (1), comprising a carrier (3) for a coupling device (25) for accommodating a user and including at least one distributing device (2) for the loads and/or forces to be transmitted to the sports item (1), which at least one distributing device (2) connects the carrier (3) to the sports item (1) via a joint arrangement, the latter having at least one pivoting arm (4, 5; 6, 7), which is pivotably connected, in each case via a joint (8, 9; 10, 11), to the sports item (1) at one arm end of the pivoting arm and to the carrier (3) at the other arm end of the pivoting arm, wherein the carrier (3) is movable from a starting position, counter to the restoring force of at least one elastic restoring element, to a balancing position in which the carrier is brought closer to the sports item (1). The sports item (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the at least one restoring element is an elastically deformable spring element (12; 13), which is held at one end on the carrier (3) and at the other end on the sports item (1).

An apparatus that secures a skateboard platform to a snow ski with a base that has a sliding member and stationary member. An adjustment mechanism urges the sliding member to move toward or away from the stationary member. A stabilizer is movable toward and way from the sliding member via a guide path in the base. The stabilizer has two components that move one inside the other to lengthen or shorten a distance between their respective ends. The sliding member has a protruding portion that fits into a front snow ski binding. The stationary member snaps into the rear snow ski binding. The front binding is sandwiched between the stabilizer and the sliding member.

A snowboard assembly is disclosed that includes a deck supported above a pair of longitudinally spaced apart blades. The deck has an upper surface for supporting a rider thereon and each blade has a lower surface for contacting ice or snow upon which the snowboard assembly is ridden. The deck is supported above the blades by mounts that are interposed between each blade and the deck. The deck is torsionally rigid between the mounts such that, in use, rider induced weight transfer forces are able to be transferred from the deck through one or both mounts and into one or both blades in order to steer the assembly. The mounts may be truck assemblies which enable the blades to move independently with respect to the deck.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sled having a sled attachment and a runner. The sled attachment may include a control deck and a connector assembly coupled to and positioned below the control deck. The runner may be coupled to the connector assembly and spaced apart from the deck. The runner may extend along a longitudinal axis of the control deck. The runner may comprise a snowboard.

A flyboard comprising a base element and an upper element in communication with each other by magnetic fields having the same polarity and magnetic fields having opposite polarities to permit floatation of the upper element over the lower element while a user is standing on the upper element.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sled having a sled attachment and a runner. The sled attachment may include a control deck and a connector assembly coupled to and positioned below the control deck. The runner may be coupled to the connector assembly and spaced apart from the deck. The runner may extend along a longitudinal axis of the control deck. The runner may comprise a snowboard.

A personal mobility device includes a frame connected to at least one wheel, a connection part on the frame, a boarding part connected to the connection part to be tiltable, a first sensor disposed on the frame to measure an inclination of the frame, and a second sensor disposed on the boarding part to measure an inclination of the boarding part.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for travel upon ice, snow, or similar low-friction inducing surface to mimic the activity of skateboarding. The present invention uses a pillar component disposed between a deck and base for the interconnection and support of the base and deck.
