Abstract:

An improvement to a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard with the addition of an attached, low-lying handlebar and riding methods. A traditional skateboard or traditional longboard limits riding positions or choices amid a standing position being standard riding practice. Although some riders attempt other riding positions, such as squatting, these unconventional riding positions are not technically pursuant to the current design, purpose, proper usage or intended use of a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard. These unconventional practices restrict board control and therefore increase the risk of injuries overall. The purpose of this improvement is to present the rider of a traditional skateboard or traditional longboard flexibility to implement different riding positions. With the attachment of a low-lying handlebar, the traditional skateboard or traditional longboard ultimately becomes a hybrid board allowing to ride kneeling or squatted. Additionally, there is an increase of board control and safety while in alternate riding positions.
