Abstract: A skateboard has a row of rollers, with a rear roller of relatively larger diameter for improved ground contact during turning maneuvers. Rollers are pivotally mounted for steer-ability, preferably being mounted on inclined axes for the effecting of turning torque about the axes in desired directions in response to exertion by a person of downward force on selected side portions of the skateboard, whereby improved turning of the rollers in desired directions is provided. A roller may be mounted on a pivotable yoke with the roller mounted on one end portion and a spring retainer on the other, so that upon a roller encountering an obstruction, bump or depression, the roller moves upwardly or downwardly to pivot the retainer against a spring, and impact energy is absorbed.
