1. Practice gliding well first
Put your center of gravity on the foot that is not moving, and lean forward slightly when sliding on the ground. There is no trick. The slide will be stable!
2. Turn
Which foot you usually use to support the sliding ground, put that foot on the raised part of the tail of the board and apply pressure. The other foot is slightly raised, and the board will tilt up at this time. Then use your hands and body (especially your waist) to make appropriate rotations (you can get the hang of it with regular practice). Use the force with which your body turns to control the angle of the turn.
3. Stop
The most common way is to come down directly and pick up the board, or rub the heel of the foot you usually use to slide on the ground to slow down; also You can use the back foot to press down the raised part hard, so that the board becomes 45 degrees and it will stop quickly. However, I don't encourage you to use the stop method. If it is used frequently, the end of the bottom of the board will be severely worn. If it is more difficult, jump up and catch the board, or use your stationary foot to step on the raised part in front of the board, lift the other foot a little, and use a turning method to make the board move sideways quickly. Slide forward (lean back) and stop immediately!
It can be said that skateboarding is an extreme sport. Therefore, the editor reminds everyone that you must take safety measures before skateboarding. Playing is second, and physical health and safety are the most important. Before playing, it is best to do some warm-up exercises and stretch your muscles. This is very necessary. At the same time, everyone must check some safety equipment of skateboards to avoid making any mistakes.
Skateboarding is an extreme sport, so before you start playing, you must take the best safety measures to protect important parts of your body, such as your head, knees, wrists, etc. I will introduce it to you below. Every skateboard has safety equipment.
1) Helmet
A high-quality helmet is your most important safety device. We are sure that if you ride a scooter without a helmet, scratches and sprains can recover quickly. But a head injury will greatly affect the rest of your life.
2) Shoe protection
One thing that must be pointed out is that the shoes must be wear-resistant and durable and all parts must be worn without discomfort. Most sports shoes are very suitable for scooting, and sandals and high-heeled shoes are the least suitable for scooting.
3) Knee pads
The most significant invention for knee pads is the invention of plastic knee pads. In addition, there are many effective knee pads. Wearing any kind of knee pads is better than wearing no knee pads.
