  • Publication number: 20110272904
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a spherical or curved skateboard wheel with a grind face that is interchangeable with ordinary, standardized skateboard wheels used in the marketplace. The wheel in some embodiments provides greater weight to the board and protects internal bearings by not resulting in preferential shock positions within each wheel. Further, the spherical wheels allow for higher speed, reduced friction with the road surface when desired, reduction of random bounces of the board during tricks, and increased maneuverability over dry, granular, or soft surfaces.
    Type: Application
