PATENT

Vehicle destined for descending roads and paths in a stomach down position.

The invention is a belly skate board on which the rider holds onto the board with hands and knees.

It is made of a board (1) mounted on trucks (7) and (8) equiped with wheels (9), (10), (11) and (12).

The rider moves his body sideways to turn and pull the handles (2) while pushing on his elbows to make the pad (6) rub on the ground and therefore brake.

The objective and purpose of the invention is destined for fun and sport.

RIDING TECHNIQUE

You just need to lie stomach down on the board and hold the handlebar fixed on the nose of the board. Place your ankles in the grooves in the back of the board.

As the wheels start turning, swing your body right and left to make the board turn and to test the steering sensitivity. If you push on your arms and rise your weight, it will increase the sensitivity of the steering.

To brake, camber your body and pull on the nose. At high speed, anticipate the natural rocking forward of your body (deceleration) by moving a little backward before cambering. With a little bit of practice, you'll brake without holding the handles!

You can also brake by "sliding": move forward to reduce pressure on the rear wheels and forcefully steer sharply to the side to start sliding!
