will not have to worry about the laces of their shoes getting tangled in the wheels
of the skateboard. The shoelace storage compartment may be closed by means of a
zipper on the preferred embodiment or the hook loop fastening means on the alternate
embodiment. The novelty of this invention is the added benefit of the concealed
storage compartment for articles like identification, driver's license or money

precautions are necessary.
