  • Patent number: 8256776
    Abstract: A specially formed cylindrical disc, set in a fixed position, to be utilized on the PICĀ® inline skate to allow for jumps and spins in the sport of inline figure skating. The performance pick disc is made of molded rubber or synthetic material. The purpose of the performance pick is to provide enhanced spins, jumps, and footwork common in the sport of inline figure skating. The continuous curved shape of the performance pick discs outer edges provides a toe-in angle of between 0 and 22 degrees, the optimal angle being between 5 and 12 degrees for jumps and 0 to 5 degrees for spins. In a variation, the outer edges are slanted at an angle between 20 and 45 degrees on both sides continuously around the cylindrically formed disc to provide an optimal surface for push offs common in inline figure skating maneuvers.

  • Patent number: 7497445
    Abstract: An inline skate wheel assembly includes a loop that has a centrally disposed opening extending therethrough. The loop has an inner perimeter surface having a ring integrally attached thereto. A hub assembly includes a cylinder that has a first end and a second end. The first and second ends are open. A first perimeter flange is attached to an outer surface of the cylinder and abuts the first end. A second perimeter flange is attached to the outer surface of the cylinder and abuts the second end. The cylinder has a break therein so that a first portion and a second portion of the cylinder are defined. An axle may be extended through the cylinder when the first and second portions are extended into the loop and abutted against the ring so that the cylinder is rotatably mounted on the axle. The axle is secured to an inline skate track.

  • Patent number: 6209894
    Abstract: A sled which will allow the user to experience the joy of sledding when there is no snow on the ground. The sled has wheel racks which are attached to the bottom of the base of the sled, and a plurality of oval wheels are attached to the wheel rack, and the wheels extend from adjacent the front of the sled to adjacent the rear of the sled. The foremost wheels on the wheel rack are smaller that the remaining wheels to allow the sled to be used on grassy surfaces which do not have snow thereon. The smaller wheels will make it easier for the sled to roll on non-linear hills.
