Package Contents
Make sure all parts are present & place
them side by side for easy identification.
STEP 1
Find a healthy, strong hardwood tree that has a branch* that stretches at least 8
feet (2.4m) from its trunk and has a circumference** between 251/4to 100 inches
(64.1 to 254cm). The tree branch should be at least 8 feet (2.4m) from the ground.
The tree trunk should have a circumference of at least 251/4inches (64.1cm). The
tree and its branch should be strong enough to hold at least 200 lbs. (90.7 kgs.)***.
Clear the surrounding ground of debris prior to installing your swing. Make sure
the tree branch does not stretch: into a road, sidewalk, or street; over a fence;
someone else’s property; or any other obstacle.
*The tree branch must allow at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the skateboard swing
& ground. The skateboard swing ropes are about 66 inches (167.6cm) in length.
**9-ft tree straps can only wrap around a tree branch of a max 100-inch (254cm) circumference.
Helpful hint: wrap tree straps around the tree branch for height adjusting purposes.
***Please note that the skateboard swing can only hold a person weighing up to 200 lbs.

STEP 2
Find the center of the branch. Take one of the
two tree straps. While holding one end, throw
the other end over the tree branch. Feed one
end of the strap through the loop and pull taut
(Diagram 1). Attach a carabiner hook to the
open end loop. Keep the carabiner hook
unlocked (loosen its screw lock). Repeat this
step for the second strap, having it spaced
between 24 to 36 inches (61 to 91.4cm) from
the first strap.
STEP 3
Take the preassembled skateboard swing. Join its neighboring pair of “O”
rings together and hook them on the carabiner hook that’s connected to the
tree strap (Diagram 2). Repeat this step for the opposite pair of “O” rings of
the preassembled skateboard swing. Make sure the skateboard swing
ropes and tree straps are not crossing. Lock the carabiner hooks by
tightening their screw locks. Make sure the skateboard part clears the
ground at least 12 inches (30.5cm) and is leveled. Adjust the clearance
height and level by adjusting the tree straps accordingly, by wrapping the
tree straps around the tree branch until desired height and level is achieved.
STEP 4
Start air skateboarding! Always exercise caution when using it (Diagram 3).
