CPC Classification
A skateboard brake apparatus for decelerating a skateboard by selectively engaging a brake includes a truck for holding a skateboard wheel, a truck mount attached to the skateboard deck, and a pivot dowel rotationally coupling the truck and mount. An adjustable brake pad is mounted to the truck mount. An adjustment bolt and a welded nut modify the brake pad's distance from the wheel. A rubber bushing biases the truck to a default position where the brake pad is spaced from the wheel. When weight is applied to the skateboard's rear, the truck pivots about the dowel, pressing the wheel against the brake pad. This design improves safety and stability during braking.
