Abstract
A snowboard training device, including: a board; a first wheel assembly connected to an underside of the board and including first and second pairs of rotatable wheels with first and second axis of rotation, respectively; and a second wheel assembly connected to the underside of the board and including third and fourth pairs of rotatable wheels with third and fourth axis of rotation, respectively. The first and second axis are non-parallel. The third and fourth axis are non-parallel. The first and second portions of the first and second wheel assemblies, respectively, are displaceable with respect to the board.
Claims20
A snowboard training device, comprising:
- a board;
- a first wheel assembly connected to an underside of the board and including first and second pairs of rotatable wheels with first and second axes of rotation, respectively;
- and,
- a second wheel assembly connected to the underside of the board and including third and fourth pairs of rotatable wheels with third and fourth axes of rotation, respectively, wherein:
- the first and second axes are non-parallel;
- the third and fourth axes are non-parallel;
- and,
- first and second portions of the first and second wheel assemblies, respectively, are displaceable with respect to the board.
A snowboard training device, comprising:
- a board;
- first and second wheel assemblies connected to an underside of the board, wherein each of the first and second wheel assemblies is non-parallel with respect to a longitudinal axis of the board and each of the first and second wheel assemblies supports a plurality of wheels, respectively;
- and,
- a center assembly connected to the underside of the board, wherein:
- at least a portion of the center assembly is rotatable about an axis, wherein the axis is substantially perpendicular with respect to the board;
- and,
- respective portions of the first and second wheel assemblies are pivotable with respect to the board about respective axes parallel to the longitudinal axis of the board and each wheel of the first and second wheel assemblies is secured such that each wheel is non-parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis of the board, respectively.
A method of forming a snowboard training device, comprising:
- connecting a first wheel assembly, including first and second pairs of rotatable wheels with first and second axes of rotation, respectively, to an underside of a board such that a first portion of the first wheel assembly is displaceable with respect to the board;
- connecting a second wheel assembly, including third and fourth pairs of rotatable wheels with third and fourth axes of rotation, respectively, to the underside of the board such that a second portion of the second wheel assembly is displaceable with respect to the board;
- orienting the first and second axes such that the first and second axes are non-parallel;
- and,
- orienting the third and fourth axes such that the third and fourth axes are non-parallel.
