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 damping coefficient 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.
Claims7
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 damping coefficient 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.
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 an area of reduced thickness to define a recess at least in the bottom side, and producing holes in the blank in the reduced thickness area adapted for receiving fasteners.
