  • Patent number: 9144730
    Abstract: A skateboard truck comprising a hanger pivotably mounted to a base, the hanger having a central aperture extending through opposite sides and a kingpin passing through the hanger central aperture. The truck includes a first and second bushing received on the kingpin, a first bushing seat receiving a portion of one of the first and second bushings and a second bushing seat receiving a portion of the other of the first and second bushings. The first and second bushing seats have different wall configurations. The hanger may be mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a degree when subject to a force offset from the axis of the kingpin. The hanger may be reversibly mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a different degree when subject to the same force.

  • Patent number: 7628413
    Abstract: A wheeled terrain board upon which a rider stands to traverse a terrain surface includes a deck mounted to a frame, a pair of trucks disposed at opposing ends of the frame, and a pair of wheels supported by each of the trucks. The length of the frame is adjustable to allow the terrain board to be adapted to various terrain surfaces and riding styles. The frame includes a central portion and front and rear end portions. Sliding at least one of the front and rear end portions relative to the central portion adjusts the length of the terrain board, and may be used to adjust the position of the deck relative to the trucks. Locking mechanisms may be disposed between the central portion and the front and rear end portions to secure the frame in any one of a plurality of lengths. The adjustable length frame may be used with any commercially available deck, truck, and wheels, which gives the rider more flexibility in configuring the terrain board to a particular riding style or terrain surface.
