HOW TO RIDE
Stage 1- Practice:
• Find a fence, friend or something supportive to hold on to and
maintain your balance.
• Position your feet:
• One foot in front of the other (dominant foot in front position)
• Knees slightly bent
• Hands held out front
• Practice lifting your toes to feel the balance point of the wheels.
Stage 2- Give it a try:
• Starting with your back foot
• Step, set, then push off & roll (lift your toes)
STEP
SET
ROLL!
Stage 3 - On your own:
• When confident, try it without support.
• Keep your center of gravity over your heels. Do not lean backwards. It helps to keep your arms forward.
STOPPING
• Transfer your weight to the balls of your feet and walk or jog out of your roll.
SPARKING:
• Use your front foot.
• Lift your toes higher so that the Spark Pads come in contact with the surface.
• DO NOT attempt sparking until you have practiced rolling and are completely
comfortable with the above steps.
