We observed the behavior of a rider on a skateboard and built experimental apparatuses. Further we analyze the characteristic by using a two dimensional analytical model. Comparing experimental and analytical results we show that primary propulsion of a skateboard is given by twisting motion of a rider. Propulsion is influenced considerably by the phase difference between twisting motion and tilting the front and rear wheel axles, that is, torque acting on a skateboard and angle of the two axles.
