Skateboard carrier

A skateboard carrier, comprising:

• a pair of flexible front and back panels of generally rectangular peripheral configuration with a vertical length and horizontal width of sufficient size to overlay substantially at least the upper back of a wearer, said panels having opposed upper and lower end edges and opposed side edges connecting said end edges, with vertical rows of stitching securing the opposed side edges and horizontal rows of stitching securing said opposed end edges, said secured edges defining a cavity within said panels,
• a resiliently deformable foam support pad contained in said cavity and sized to occupy the width and length of said cavity to support said panels and separate the opposed said side and end edges thereof in full extension one from another,
• a storage pocket having a wall that is in facing opposition with, is secured at its periphery to, and is shaped and sized to substantially conform to, a major portion of said back panel,
• zipper means in said back panel for providing access to said storage pocket,
• a pair of shoulder straps affixed to said front panel, the place of uppermost fixation of the straps being spaced from the upper end edge of the front panel such that a portion of the carrier rises above said place of affixation thereby to cushion against cervical contact with the skateboard,
• a plurality of flexible inelastic cinching strap attachment member pairs, each member being secured to opposite side edges of the panels, the uppermost pair being at a location near the upper end edge of the panels and vertically lower than said place of uppermost fixation of said shoulder straps, the lowermost pair being at a location near the lower end edge of the panels, and at least one other flexible inelastic cinching strap attachment member intermediate said uppermost and lowermost pairs,
• a plurality of flexible inelastic cinching straps for attachment to said attachment members, the cinching straps for attachment to said uppermost attachment member pair being adapted to be removably positioned across the underside of a skateboard in a loop of which a forward run lies in front of the leading edge, and a rear run lies behind the trailing edge, of the axle support bracket for the skateboard front wheels, the cinching straps for attachment to said lowermost attachment members being adapted to be removably positioned across the underside of the skateboard in a loop of which a forward run lies in front of the leading edge, and a rear run lies behind the trailing edge, of the axle support bracket for the skateboard rear wheels, when said skateboard is vertically oriented with its front wheels above the rear wheels and positioned with its topside against the back panel of the carrier so that the front and rear wheels extend outwardly from the carrier, whereby the weight of skateboard is supported by the said attachment members and cinching straps at the loop rear run of the cinching straps bearing against the said trailing edges of said brackets, vertical movement of the skateboard is restrained by the said attachment members and cinching straps at the loop forward run of cinching tie straps bearing against said leading edges of said brackets, and lateral movement of the skateboard is restrained by wrap engagement of said front panel side edges at said cinching strap attachment members and by said cinching strap attachment members across portions of lateral margins and underside of said skateboard, and
• at least one securing strap for said intermediate attachment member adapted to be removably positioned to secure to said carrier a skateboarding accessory article selected to be securable thereby.
