RIDING TECHNIQUE
1. Starting position: Adjust your speed according to
your skills. If you are an inexperienced "skateboarder",
rst position one foot in driving direction in par with
the front wheels. Slightly load that foot, then slightly
bent the knee. Then position the other foot above
the rear axle at a right angle to the board. Remember
to always load the front foot, i.e. shift your body
weight to the front. Make sure to always get o
towards the front. After a few tries you will get a
better feeling for the skateboard.
2. Initial riding tests: Then try to tilt the board along
the longitudinal axis to the right and left by shifting
your weight accordingly. Use your knee joints and
ankles to shift the weight, keeping your upper body
straight. Hold the balance using your arms. To start
moving the skateboard, position one foot on the
board rst as described under starting position.
Then push several times with your other foot. Once
your skateboard has gained su cient momentum,
position your second foot on the rear part of the
board. Never ride with just one foot on the board.
Beginners should avoid steep ground.
