Abstract

A shock absorbing and slip resistant pad made of a foam material that has a resilient texture and a sufficient depth to absorb shock. The pad has a slip resistant surface and an engaging surface. The slip-resistant surface has sand evenly distributed therealong to form a rough surface for slip resistance. The engaging surface has an adhesive substance applied thereon to adhere the pad to the skateboard. A pattern is stenciled and color printed on the slip resistant surface for a decorative or a commercial effect.

Claims

1. A shock absorbing and slip resistant pad comprising:

a foaming material having a resilient texture to absorb shock;

a slip resistant surface formed on the foaming material, the slip resistant surface having sand evenly distributed therealong to form a rough surface for slip resistance; and

an engaging surface formed on the foaming material opposite to the slip resistant surface, the engaging surface having an adhesive substance applied thereon,

whereby the engaging surface is suitable for adhering to a skateboard and the foaming material absorbs shock due to the resilient texture and the engaging surface resists slipping due to the rough surface.

2. The shock absorbing and slip resistant pad as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slip resistant surface further comprises a pattern formed on the slip resistant surface for a decorative effect.
