Abstract A deck assembly for a skateboard includes a deck that defines a pair of sets of passages corresponding with openings in mounting structures used for mounting trucks to the deck. A number of male connectors correspond with respective passages and openings, each male connector having an externally threaded shank, a head on a distal end of the shank and a tool engaging formation defined on a proximal end of the shank. A number of female connectors correspond with respective passages and openings, each female connector defining an internally threaded barrel, open at both ends, and a flange on a proximal end of the barrel. The shank is configured for threaded engagement with the barrel, using a tool that engages the formation through the female connector, the female connectors being received through the passages and openings such that the heads of the female connectors bear against the deck and the male connectors being received through the openings and into the passages to engage respective barrels such that the tool engaging formations can be accessed from an operatively upper side of the deck allowing the mounting structures to be secured to the deck from said upper side. |
