Abstract
A kicktail concave skateboard includes a blank having opposite ends, at least one end being recessed. An element is mounted on the recessed end such that a portion of the element adjoining the blank is flush with the blank. The element is formed of a material having a lower mechanical damping capacity and a higher modulus of elasticity than the blank. The element includes a downwardly facing exposed side having a downward projection thereon, to facilitate the execution of an “ollie” maneuver.
Claims21
A kicktail concave skateboard comprising:
- a blank having opposite ends and top and bottom sides, at least one of the ends being of reduced thickness to define a recess in at least the bottom side thereof;
- and
- an element mounted in the recess such that a portion of the element adjoining the blank has a thickness substantially equal to a depth of the recess, whereby the portion of the element adjoining the blank is flush therewith, the element formed of a material having a lower mechanical damping capacity and a higher modulus of elasticity than the blank, and including a downwardly facing exposed side, the element being shaped correspondingly to the one end of the blank.
An element adapted to be mounted on an end portion of a blank of a skateboard, the element including a flat portion of generally uniform thickness, the flat portion being generally curved and having low mechanical damping capacity and high modulus of elasticity.
A blank for a skateboard, the blank including opposite top and bottom sides, each side extending between opposite ends of the blank, at least one of the ends being of reduced thickness to define a recess in at least the bottom side thereof.
A method of manufacturing a blank for a skateboard comprising the steps of providing a blank having a top side and a bottom side, both sides extending between opposite ends of the blank, and forming at least one of the ends with reduced thickness to define a recess at least in the bottom side.
The method according to claim further including the forming step includes defining a recess in the top side which lies over the recess defined in the bottom side.
