Skateboard elastic strap training system

Abstract

A skateboard elastic strap training system utilizes a skateboard strap system that is detachably attachable to a skateboard to configure an elastic portion of the skateboard strap assembly along the deck of the board for a rider to place their feet under for improved control and lift of the skateboard.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A skateboard elastic strap training system comprising a skateboard strap assembly comprising:
 a) a first assembly end and a second assembly end, and a length from said first assembly end to said second assembly end;   b) an elastic sleeve extending from a first sleeve end to a second sleeve end and having a board side and a rider side;
 wherein the elastic sleeve forms an elastic band having a width that is at least four times greater than a width; 
   c) a first retainer strap extending from the first sleeve end of the elastic sleeve and having a first truck-coupler;
 a first fastener attaching the first retainer strap to the elastic sleeve a first overlap distance from the first sleeve end; 
   d) a second retainer strap extending from the second sleeve end of the elastic sleeve and having a second truck-coupler;   e) a second fastener attaching the second retainer strap to the elastic sleeve a second overlap distance from the second sleeve end;
 wherein the second retainer strap extends into the retainer sleeve; 
   f) a first non-elastic portion extending from the first fastener to the first assembly end;   g) a second non-elastic portion extending from the second fastener to the second assembly end; and   h) an elastic portion extending along the elastic band from the first fastener to the second fastener;
 wherein the skateboard strap assembly is detachably attachable to a skateboard with the first truck-coupler detachably attached to a first truck hanger proximal to a nose end of the skateboard, and the second truck-coupler detachably attached to a second truck hanger proximal to a tail end of the skateboard and with the elastic portion extending over a rider side of said deck of the skateboard. 
   
     
     
         2 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first retainer strap extends into the retainer sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 2 , wherein the second retainer strap extends into the retainer sleeve. 
     
     
         4 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first retainer strap and second retainer strap are each non-elastic and have no more than 10% elongation with a 4.5 kg force applied along a length of the retainer strap. 
     
     
         5 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first non-elastic portion and second non-elastic portion are each non-elastic having no more than 10% elongation with a 4.5 kg force applied along a length of the skateboard strap assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 5 , wherein the elastic portion is elastic having at least a 10% elongation with a 4.5 kg force applied along a length of the skateboard strap assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 6 , further comprising a cross-strap configured to extend across the deck of the skateboard and over the elastic sleeve, and wherein the cross-strap is detachably attachable to said skateboard. 
     
     
         8 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 7 , wherein the cross-strap comprises a main extension strap and a receiver strap that form a cross-strap receiver for the elastic sleeve to extend therethrough. 
     
     
         9 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic portion is elastic having at least a 10% elongation with a 4.5 kg force applied along a length of the skateboard strap assembly. 
     
     
         10 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , further comprising a friction material configured on the board surface of the elastic sleeve proximal to both the first sleeve end and second sleeve end, wherein the friction material extends no more than 40 cm from the first sleeve end and second sleeve end. 
     
     
         11 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 10 , wherein the friction material extends no more than 40 cm from the first sleeve end and second sleeve end. 
     
     
         12 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein both the first and second retainer straps further comprise a strap length adjustment feature to change the length of the respective first and second retainer straps. 
     
     
         13 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 12 , further comprising a cross-strap configured to extend across the deck of the skateboard and over the elastic sleeve, and wherein the cross-strap is detachably attachable to said skateboard. 
     
     
         14 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , further comprising a cross-strap configured to extend across the deck of the skateboard and over the elastic sleeve, and wherein the cross-strap is detachably attachable to said skateboard. 
     
     
         15 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 14 , wherein the cross-strap comprises a main extension strap and a receiver strap that form a cross-strap receiver for the elastic sleeve to extend therethrough. 
     
     
         16 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , wherein the first truck-coupler is a retainer loop formed by the first retainer strap and wherein the second truck-coupler is a retainer loop formed by the second retainer strap. 
     
     
         17 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 16 , wherein the skateboard strap assembly is detachably attachable to a skateboard with the first retainer loop extending around said first truck hanger proximal to a nose end of the skateboard and the second retainer loop extending around said second truck hanger proximal to a tail end of the skateboard and with the elastic portion extending over a deck of the skateboard. 
     
     
         18 . The skateboard elastic strap training system of  claim 1 , further comprising a first strap coupler coupled to said first truck hanger and a second strap coupler coupled to the second truck hanger, and
