An skateboard security rack having a pair of support members defining a
slot therebetween for receiving the deck of a skateboard. At least one of
the support members has a width smaller than the wheelbase of the
skateboard received in the slot. Locking structure between the support
members and across the top of the slot retains the skateboard within the
slot. The locking structure may be separate elements coupled to each of
the support members and a lock therebetween. Alternatively, the locking
structure may be a lock such as a conventional U-shape lock. If separate
elements coupled to each of the support members are used, they may be
fixed in place, or movable such as longitudinally slideable along the
support members. The support members may be elongated hollow or solid
members, or formed in panels. The support members are desirably hollow
tubes bent into inverted U-shapes. Bases of the support members may be
mounted to a variety of base surfaces such as flat or curvilinear,
horizontal or vertical. For instance, the bases may be bolt mounted to or
embedded in a horizontal concrete sidewalk. Multiple support members can
be mounted in sequence to provide an array of slots. The bases of a
number of the support members can be shared or connected to provide
modular structures that facilitate installation.
