Abstract: A safety accessory that can be used with skate boards is described. This accessory comprises two elements which are attached to the riding surface of the skate board and to the feet of the rider. This accessory permits the rider to exercise greater control during performances on the skate board. The releasable safety function of this accessory is particularly useful during the execution of acrobatics on the skate board and allows even the most inexperienced of riders to perform tricks normally executed by a skilled artisan of skate board riding.
