A skateboard truck comprising:
- a metal main section to hold two wheels, an upper portion attaching to the underside of a skateboard board, a metal lower portion exposed to a rail during a grind, and a sparking insert integrally formed with the metal lower portion and held in a recess milled in the underside of the metal lower portion of the skateboard truck, whereby the flint inserts create a sparking effect when the underside of the skateboard truck is frictionally worn in a grind upon a rail.
A skateboard board comprising:
- a nose at a front end, a tail at a rear end, and a sparking insert integrally formed to the board on the underside portion of the skateboard board, whereby the flint insert creates a sparking effect when the underside of the skateboard board is frictionally worn in a grind.
A skateboard board comprising:
- a main board portion having a wooden grain parallel to the length of the board, sparking inserts integrally formed into the board located on the nose or tail of the board exposed to the ground during tricks, whereby said sparking inserts placed at the terminal ends of the board allow brief pyrotechnic effect during takeoff of an Ollie.
A skateboard wheel comprising:
- cylindrically milled recesses to receive cylindrical sparking inserts mounted perpendicularly to the wheel surface, sparking inserts integrally formed in recesses to create sound and sparks when the wheel is fictionally engaged with a road surface.
