Abstract: A skateboard having a board, rollers attached to the bottom of the board, a steering element extending upwardly from the board, and a brake for stopping movement of the skateboard. Flexible elements are provided between the bottom of the board and the mountings of the rollers in order to allow for greater controllability of the board. The steering element is provided with a constraining element that allows the steering element to be pivoted and held in an upright position, and then pivoted to a folded condition. The brake includes a bent wire that is biased away from the rollers, and can be forced into contact with the rollers. A hook is provided on the steering element for attachment with the brake to allow for easy storage and transportation of the skateboard. Alternatively, the steering element can be pivoted into a recess in the skateboard.
