 a set of pin members each with a top portion that engages a set of mounting holes of a skateboard deck, wherein: two pin members of the set of members engages with the set of mounting holes;   a base with a flat back, wherein: an outside edge of the hanger is also an outside edge of the flat back, and one or more of an adhesive strips runs from one side of the flat back to an opposite side of the flat back putting a tabs for said adhesive strips outside the outside edge of the hanger, wherein the adhesive strip may be one or more of an adhesive strip, or one or more of a hook and loop strip with adhesive backings;   wherein the bottom portion of each pin member has a T-shaped connection with the base with each side of the T forming a triangular support, each triangular support is connected with the base;   wherein an attachment of the bottom portion of each pin member comprises:
 a T-shaped fusion with the base wherein the pin members are not removable from the base, or 
 a locking attachment with the base wherein the pin members are separate from but lock into the base. 
   
     
     
         23 . The hanging device of  claim 22 , wherein the top portion of the set of pin members has a diameter small enough for the top portion to pass into the mounting holes of a skateboard, and one or more locking features that are characterized by:
 a locking portion with a point of minimum radius located in the center of each pin member wherein the pin member increases in diameter until a position proximate the end of the pin, at said position is a groove with a shape complimentary to an inside of an O-ring;   a locking portion with a ledge on a side of the top portion wherein the ledge is positioned to press against the skateboard deck once the skateboard deck is placed onto the hanger without a reciprocal ledge on an opposite side of the locking portion in a same relative position;   a conical frustum with the tip of the pin member being a small end of the conical frustum and the opposite side forming the other end of a locking extension with a ledge; or   a locking extension that rises from the tip of the top portion on at least one side with a gap underneath an opposite end of the locking extension, wherein the locking extension with the gap is comprised of a flexible material.   
     
     
         24 . The hanging device of  claim 23 , wherein the top portion has a slight bend under the load of the skateboard deck such that the skateboard deck rests persistently on the locking extension of the pin members.
