Abstract: A skateboard has a plurality of in-line wheels rotatably mounted on the front end of the board and rear wheels disposed on either side of the rear end of the board. The board may have a resiliently flexible portion between the in-line and rear wheels. The in-line wheels may be supported between a pair of parallel lateral flanges or they may be supported on a single flange that splits each in-line wheel. The rear wheels may be mounted on a coil and leaf spring suspension, on a transverse shaft or in housings at the rear end of the board. The rear wheels may be tapered.
