RIDING TECHNIQUE

1. Starting position: Adjust your speed according to your skills. If you are an inexperienced “skateboarder”, first 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 off 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 first as described under starting position. Then push several times with your other foot. Once your skateboard has gained sufficient 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.

3. Braking

   • Braking at low speed: First position your rear foot next to the board, and then touch down to decelerate. The front foot remains on the board until the breaking process has come to an end.
     Braking at high speed: Proceed similar as at low speed. After initial braking with the rear foot, take the front foot off the board as well. It is important to stop the skateboard immediately after having jumped off. A skateboard that continues running in an uncontrolled manner is a danger for the surrounding.

4. Making turns: First take the starting position. Then bend your knees further and shift your weight towards the side of the board, on which you want to make a turn. In order to turn to the right, shift your weight to the right. To turn to the left, shift your weight to the left. The radius of the curve will depend on the lateral pressure you apply. The more pressure, the smaller the curve.
