International Classification:

A63C 17/01

Abstract:

A customizable skateboard truck assembly comprising an adjustable base plate and a hanger with both adjustable rake and ride height. Further, the skateboard truck assembly disclosed utilizes an open bushing platform that allows for unlimited shapes to be used for the bushing relative to its perimeter. The added space between the hanger and the baseplate allows the truck assembly to fit multiple bushing thicknesses while also choosing to maintain or change the hardness for the bushing. The thickness, hardness, and shape of the bushing all have an effect on the truck assembly's responsiveness and feel for the user. Additionally, the truck assemblies comprise adjustable cams for regulating rotation, or in other words, providing a maximum angle of rotation to the hanger to avoid wheel bite, thereby increasing safety an control of the skateboard by the user. The customizable skateboard truck assembly facilitates smooth and precise motion of the skateboard.
