Abstract: A skateboard is modified for use on off-road terrain and includes a shock absorber system. The shock absorber system includes a spacer unit having a plurality of shock absorber plates affixed to the deck unit of the skateboard and to which the skateboard axle is pivotally fixed. Shock absorber wheels are fastened to the skateboard wheels by self-tapping screws extending through a central hub section of the shock absorber wheels and into the skateboard tires. Shock absorber material, such as foam material or a helical spring, is located inside the tires of the shock absorber wheels.
