A stabilizing pad for use with conventional skateboards for ready
attachment and detachment to the skateboard between the skateboard wheels
for stabilizing the skateboard and immobilizing the wheels to permit a
novice skateboarder to practice the basic balancing, maneuvers, and
tricks on the skateboard without fear of falling or injuries. The
stabilizing pad is temporarily secured to the skateboard to depend from
the board for engagement with the supporting surface for the wheels and
in sufficient contact therewith to provide the desired stabilizing
action. The pad can be constructed of different lightweight materials or
plastic for providing the necessary stabilizing of the skateboard.
