  • Patent number: 5553874
    Abstract: A roller board apparatus, such as a skateboard, having an elongated user support platform and front and rear rigid, curve axels mounted transversly across one side of the platform adjacent the front and rear ends, respectively. The axels curve symmetrically outwardly away from the platform surface to which they are attached and respectively include a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted therealong, thereby creating, in essence, an arc of wheels. Resilient, rubber, wedge shaped spacers are positioned between each end of the axels and the platform, for the primary purpose of causing the axels to angle outwardly away from one another so as to provide stability to the board. The spacers resiliency permit the angle at which each angle sits with respect to the horizontal to be selectively chaned. Different angles produce different riding characteristics.
