Abstract
A skateboard-type vehicle of wide dimensions features a centrally located, weight supporting upright with laterally pointing handles. The height of the upright is adjustable and the platform is reinforced and has an edge protector. The novel features enable a user to control the direction of the board with the handles, to straddle in an eagle-like fashion upon the upright and to perform jumps with the skateboard.

A skateboard-type vehicle having a platform, a frictional top surface, two sets of wheel pairs, an axle joining each wheel pair, each wheel cast with rounded sides of material offering low rolling resistance, each wheel pair attached for forwardly rolling near an end of an underside of the platform through an inclined pivotal and resilient coupling structure capable of turning the wheel pair into the direction of the platform's tilt comprising:
- a reinforcement means for said platform;
- a weight supporting vertical upright;
- attachment means to rigidly attach said vertical upright through the center of the platform;
- a transversely extending T-shaped handle assembly adjustably secured to the top of the vertical upright;
- the platform's width accommodating a user's feet placed together upon the platform with a foot placed on each side of the vertical upright, said upright further comprising a means to adjust and lock the height of said upright.
An improved skateboard vehicle having a platform, a frictional top surface, two sets of wheel pairs, an axle joining each wheel pair, each wheel cast with rounded sides of material offering low rolling resistance, each wheel pair centrally attached for forwardly rolling near an end of an underside of the platform through an inclined pivotal and resilient coupling structure capable of turning the wheel pair onto the direction of the platform's tilt, the improvement comprising:
- a reinforcement means for said platform;
- a weight supporting vertical upright;
- attachment means to rigidly attach said vertical upright through the center of the platform;
- a transversely extending T-shaped handle assembly adjustably secured to the top of said vertical upright;
- the platform's width accommodating user's feet placed together upon the platform with a foot on each side of the upright, said upright further comprising a means to adjust and lock the height of said upright.
