Abstract
A skateboarding toy, wherein a mechanism frame adapted to support a toy body horizontally and rotatably is erected on a skateboard having a drive wheel and front steering wheels, and a steering rod for operating the front wheels is provided. When the drive wheel is driven, the toy body with the skateboard is advanced in a straight direction and when the steering rod is moved back and forth, the front wheels are turned horizontally toward the right and left alternately with respect to the advancing direction of the skateboard, so that the skateboard runs along a snaking path.
