Abstract: A street ski comprising an elongated platform, a pair of trucks and a pair of wheels. Each truck includes a wheel support pivotably associated with the elongated platform and a spring connected to the wheel support for resisting pivoting of the wheel support relative to the elongated platform. Each wheel is rotatably mounted to the wheel support in any suitable manner such as by an axle or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the wheel support comprises a pair of fork members engaged with the axle. The truck permits rotation of the wheel support relative to the elongated platform in response to a shift in the weight of the rider of the board to simulate, for example, a snowboarding effect. The wheel supports desirably are raked in opposite directions to facilitate a fishtail effect or to otherwise facilitate a carving effect. Each truck includes a base rigidly secured to the elongated platform rotatably associating the wheel support with the elongated platform.
