Abstract: A conventionally shaped skateboard is divided into three sections, one section measures at about half the length of the skateboard, a middle section measures at approximately the height of the truck and wheel assembly, and a third section constitutes the remaining length of the skateboard. The three sections are hinged together to form a folding skateboard such that when the skateboard is folded, the trucks and wheels of the skateboard are adjacent each other in the interior of the J-shaped configuration of the folded skateboard. The sections are locked in an extended, aligned orientation to form a usable skateboard in three embodiments by clips which fit onto the side edges of the skateboard deck and in a fourth embodiment by rods which fit into and slide within cylindrical grooves formed on the bottom of the skateboard deck.
