When the front truck of a skateboard is offset laterally to the right from the rear truck, the rider can transfer his weight from the rear truck to the front truck when making a right turn and from the front truck to the rear truck when making a left turn. The truck whose weight is augmented turns through a larger angle than otherwise possible. At some point as the rider leans farther and farther into a right turn, the left rear wheel leaves the ground; the right front wheel leaves the ground when the rider leans strongly into a left turn. When either of these wheels leave the ground, the skateboard steers in a tricycle mode and is capable of extremely sharp turns. The board includes a front portion which is offset from the rear portion, and this offset encourages the rider to assume a more normal stance on the board. |
