Abstract: A skateboard employs a hollow elongated board having openings, formed in the underside of the board, adapted to receive standard skateboard wheels. Since the wheels are recessed in the board, the skateboard si&:s very low to the ground, giving the board a low profile and low center of gravity. The skateboard further employs wheel ramps on opposite sides of each wheel to provide a smooth under surface to aid in the negotiation of large obstacles such as curbs, stairs, etc. and to allow the skateboard to glide over smaller obstacles.
