Disassemblable skateboard for improved portability and carrying system therefor

A skateboard that may be easily assembled and disassembled preferably comprises a multiple section deck having one or more mounting mechanisms configured for releasably mounting a truck mounting assembly thereto for joining two deck sections. The truck mounting assembly has a truck assembly and a truck mount attached or integral therewith. In a preferred embodiment, the truck mounting assembly and mounting mechanism are configured for twist-and-lock engagement. Preferably, the truck mount has a mounting cavity for receiving a truck mount connector therein and an internal elongated spring member that biases an engagement member into a slot to prevent unintended disengagement of the truck mounting assembly from the deck. One or more securing mechanisms secure the truck mount to the truck mount connector and the deck. A tab plate and socket plate are provided for use with wooden decks. A carrying system includes a carrying case for transporting the disassembled skateboard.
