Skateboard deck

A skateboard deck adapted for engagement to axles having wheels, comprising:

• an elongated deck body having a center axis therethrough and having two side edges communicating between a front edge and rear edge;
• said deck body formed of a plurality of layers including an upper surface layer on which a user rides and a lower surface layer adapted for engagement to said wheels;
• a first composite member located between said upper surface layer and lower surface layer, said first composite member having a width extending from a central axis which is substantially aligned with said center axis;
• a second composite member, having a width and length substantially the same as said first composite member, said second composite member positioned substantially inline with said first composite member, between said upper surface layer and lower surface layer;
• a first plurality of cross members positioned between said upper and lower surface layers, said cross members extending from said first composite member toward both said side edges a distance away from said center axis;
• a second plurality of cross members positioned between said upper and lower surface layers, said cross members extending from said second composite member toward both said side edges said distance away from said center axis;
• and
• said distance away from said center axis, exceeding said width of said first and second composite members;
• a middle layer positioned between said first composite member and said second composite member;
• and
• a plurality of apertures communicating between said upper surface layer and said lower surface layer and passing through the middle layer, said apertures adapted for operative engagement of trucks providing mounts for said axles and wheels upon said lower surface of said deck body.
