Abstract: A skateboard with an elongated platform having a tail section and a main body section coupled together by an angularly adjustable joint that holds the sections in a preselected angular relation and permits adjustment of the tail section to various angles relative to the plane of the body section. In one embodiment, the adjustable joint is an elongated plate having front and rear end sections secured to the body and tail sections, respectively, of the skateboard platform, and, extending between the front and rear sections, an intermediate section that is bendable to a preselected angle, but has sufficient strength and stiffness to resist bending under the normal forces exerted on the tail section during tilting of the skateboard.
