Claim:
A quad wheeled skate for use by a wearer having a given foot length size, said foot length size being assigned a dimensionless value of 1 for the purpose of expressing and defining at least one relationship and ratio between said given foot length size and specific dimensions of said quad wheeled skate, said quad wheeled skate having an anterior side, a posterior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a superior side, an inferior side, a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a chassis having a platform, a front axle having a middle, a rear axle having a middle, a plurality of wheels consisting of two front wheels and two rear wheels, an overall longitudinal length, said overall longitudinal length being a function of said wearer's foot length size and expressed as a ratio of said overall longitudinal length to said wearer's foot length size in the range between 1/1 and 1.25/1, a longitudinal wheel base length between the middle of said front axle and the middle of said rear axle, said longitudinal wheel base length being a function of said wearer's foot length size and expressed as a ratio of said wearer's foot length size and said longitudinal wheel base length in the range between 1.2/1 and 1.6/1, a first transverse wheel base length consisting of the outside measurement between said front wheels and a second transverse wheel base length consisting of the outside measurement between said rear wheels each of said first transverse wheel base length and said second transverse wheel base length being in the range between 4 and 6½ inches, the length between the middle of said front axle and said anterior side of said quad wheeled skate and also the length between the middle of said rear axle and said posterior side of said quad wheeled skate each being in the range between 1 to 3 inches, and when said quad wheeled skate is resting upright and level upon a level support surface the inferior side of said chassis has a height above said support surface in the range between ¼ to ¾inches, and the height of said plafform of said chassis adjacent said front axle is in the range between 1 to 2½ inches.
