Claims13
An inline skateboard assembly comprising:
- a generally planar elongated board having opposite forward and rearward ends, said board having lateral side edges, said board being continuous between said ends, at least one of said ends being upwardly turned;
- and
- a plurality of roller sets, each roller set having a plurality of rollers, wherein each roller set is fixedly coupled to an underside of said board to form a line of roller sets to allow said board to move backward and forward along a longitudinal axis of said aligned roller sets;
- wherein the plurality of roller sets are longitudinally separated and spaced from each other toward said ends of said board;
- wherein said plurality of roller sets are substantially centered between said lateral side edges such that lateral portions of said board edge extend laterally outwardly from said plurality of roller sets;
- wherein each of said plurality of roller sets has an outermost roller positioned toward one of the opposite forward and rearward ends of the elongated board, and
- a brake member positioned adjacent to each of said outermost rollers such that pivoting said elongated board on one of said outermost rollers brings one of said brake members into contact with a supporting surface to bring said board to a stop using friction between said brake member and the supporting surface when said board is moving in a forward or a rearward direction.
