Abstract Skateboarding is one of the most popular extreme sports of today. The basic mathematical model, describing the motion of a skateboard with the rider has been proposed by M. Hubbard . Recently this model has been developed by A.S. Kuleshov and his co-authors . However all these studies don’t take into account the rider control of the skateboard i.e. the considered model of the skateboard is incontrollable. The first attempt to introduce the control into this system was made in the paper . This work remains apparently unique study devoted to the skateboard control. In our presentation we discuss various schemes for the control of a skateboard. Obviously it is possible to use the simple feedback control for stabilization of the skateboard with the rider as in . At the same time it is clear that essentially all the degrees of freedom of the system experience hard servo-control on the part of the rider. Therefore we propose the method of control of a skateboard with the help of servo-constraints. The basic ideas on the mechanical systems with servo-constraints have been formulated by H. Beghin and developed by Yu.F. Golubev . In our investigation we essentially used the theory treated in these papers.
