Sledboard

Abstract

A modified skateboard developed for snow and ice consisting of a top deck larger than the average skateboard, but smaller than the average snow board having a slope upward on both the front and rear. The bottom of said deck contains one mounted truck located on the bottom front end of said deck, and, one mounted truck located near the bottom rear end of said deck. Bolts are driven down from the top of said deck through said truck, tightly fastened securely by nuts. Each truck is connected to two truck mount brackets located on the axles of each front and rear truck. The rear and front truck is connected in the same unified fashion. Truck mount brackets are connected to two miniature type skis located near the front and rear of said deck. This allows independent suspension of both skis and deck. Truck mount brackets allow skis to pivot upwards or downwards, and left to right.

1 . A sporting device comprising a modified skateboard designed to be used on snow or ice with trucks affixed to an underside of the modified skateboard having horizontal axles, said trucks comprising forward and rearward pivoting mount brackets positioned in tandem to each other and near a front of the modified skateboard and near a rear of the modified skateboard to enable left and right pivoting and steering movement of the axles and said miniature skis, plural miniature ski runners attached to truck mount brackets spaced parallel front and rear connecting the front and rear truck mount brackets and miniature skis to front and rear of the modified skateboard for providing a continuous runner surface.  
   
   
       2 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein the connected miniature ski runners are mounted on said horizontal truck mount brackets of said trucks.  
   
   
       3 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein the miniature ski miniature ski runners are mounted on said horizontal truck mount brackets of said trucks.  
   
   
       4 . The sporting device in  claim 1  including the connection of the miniature ski runners to the truck mount brackets to keep the miniature ski runners connected to axles of said trucks.  
   
   
       5 . The sporting device in  claim 1  wherein the miniature ski runner surfaces contacting the snow are concave.  
   
   
       6 . The sporting device in  claim 1  wherein the miniature ski runner surfaces contacting the snow have slightly protruding ridges extending along said surfaces.  
   
   
       7 . The sporting device of  claim 4  wherein said connection of miniature ski runners to truck mount brackets mounted on the front and rear horizontal axles of said trucks.  
   
   
       8 . The sporting device of  claim 4  wherein the connection includes front and rear truck mount brackets mounted on the front and rear horizontal axles of said trucks to accommodate miniature ski miniature ski runners to pivot upward, downward, left and right.  
   
   
       9 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein the connected miniature ski runners are short, wide, and curved upward at the front and rear.  
   
   
       10 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein the truck mount connectors connecting the miniature ski runners has a small round hole located in the center of said truck mount brackets allowing truck axles to be mounted onto the said truck mount connectors so that the miniature ski runners will pivot and turn the modified skateboard.
