A shock absorbing skate truck assembly includes a resilient shock absorber at the king pin located between the assembly base of the assembly and the axle support member for absorbing shocks encountered during use. Another shock absorber is located in a recess of the assembly base and is engaged by an axle support member arm. The shock absorber in the recess includes a flexible, resilient component and a non-flexible, non-resilient component.

1. A shock absorbing skate truck assembly comprising, in combination:an assembly base defining an assembly base recess; a king pin projecting from said assembly base and spaced from said assembly base recess, said king pin having a threaded distal end; an axle support member defining an axle support member opening, said king pin projecting through said axle support member opening, said axle support member movable relative to said king pin, and said axle support member including an axle support member arm having a distal end located at said assembly base recess; a first shock absorber positioned between said axle support member and said assembly base at said king pin; and a second shock absorber located in said assembly base recess engageable by the distal end of said axle support member arm, said assembly base recess terminating at an assembly base abutment surface on said assembly base, said second shock absorber comprising a flexible, resilient shock absorber element located in said recess in engagement with said assembly base abutment surface and a substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element located in said recess in engagement with said flexible, resilient shock absorber element, said substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element engageable by the distal end of said axle support arm and located between the distal end of said axle support arm and said flexible, resilient shock absorber element, said substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element slidably disposed in the recess, with said recess defining a substantially lineal path of movement for said substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element, said flexible, resilient shock absorber element being located below said assembly base abutment surface and above said substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element and being compressed between said assembly base abutment surface and said substantially non-flexible, non-resilient shock absorber element when said substantially nonflexible, non-resilient shock absorber element moves along said substantially lineal path of movement toward said assembly base abutment surface.
