Abstract
A skateboard truck with a swinging arm having an adjustable plane of rotation is described. The truck has a base plate rotatably coupled with a pivoting plate via a pivot assembly. The pivot assembly comprises (i) a bolt about which the swinging arm of the pivoting plate rotates, (ii) an optional centering or biasing member that biases the pivoting plate from an off-center position to a center position, and (iii) a tapered spacer removably disposed between the base plate and pivoting plate. The tapered spacer couples with the pivoting plate in at least two different radial positions to create different angles between the skateboard and swinging arm for different riding styles and user preferences.
