Abstract
An elastic band for a skateboard. The band is an elastomer such as EPDM and stretches over the deck of the skateboard longitudinally with a central span under which the rider's feet can be inserted. The band has opposed ends with loops that may be wrapped around the skateboard trucks under the deck. The band is stretched taut, but has sufficient flexibility to enable the rider's feet to be inserted under the central span. Equipping a board with the band enables a rider to perform various tricks that ordinarily require the hands, and the feel is similar to a snowboard, which provides a way to practice snowboarding on the street.
