Abstract:
1. A sliding device for sliding on the ground down a hill or inclined surface, comprising: an upper deck having opposite lateral sides and a flat surface of a predetermined width extending between said lateral sides sufficient for supporting a rider thereon, and a slide mechanism mounted spacedly below and in parallel with the upper deck, having a slide base formed by an elongated planar member having opposite lateral sides and top and bottom flat surfaces of a width substantially matching the width of the upper deck and provided with opposite radiused ends, and a single, endless anti-friction belt entrained in a lengthwise direction around the slide base and extending across the width between the lateral sides thereof and adapted to slide around the top surface, radiused ends, and bottom surface due to the force of sliding friction contact with the ground, wherein the planar member surfaces and radiused ends and endless belt are selected so as to have anti-friction properties to permit the endless belt to slide around the slide base and enable the sliding device to slide down the hill or inclined surface.
