Abstract: A mounting assembly (16) for mounting a truck (14) onto the deck (12) of a skateboard (10). The mounting assembly (16) comprises a first portion (24) and a second portion (48) mounted for pivotal movement about a pivot axis. A spring means (38) is provided for biasing the deck (12) and truck (14) into a first position with respect to each other and yieldingly resisting movement therebetween away from the first position. The mounting assembly (16) may also provide an elastic connection between the deck (12) and the truck (14) thereby to provide the effect of suspension on the skateboard.
