Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved skateboard system and method of assembly. One embodiment of the present invention relates to an improved skateboard system that includes coupling a mounting bracket between a conventional skateboard deck and truck. The mounting bracket effectively drops the deck closer to the ground, thereby enabling increased stability and performance. Likewise, the design and materials of the bracket provide increased vibrational dampening for the system. In addition, the couplings between the bracket and deck and the bracket and truck are releasable to enable interchanging of components. A second embodiment of the present invention relates to an individual skateboard bracket. The bracket further includes a truck coupling region, a medial region, and a deck coupling region. In profile, the truck coupling region is generally higher than the deck coupling region, facilitating an overall drop-down shape.
