Never ride faster as you could run when jumping off the skateboard.
3. Walking on or jumping onto a skateboard can be dangerous!
4. Only ride in areas without traffic. Do not exercise at locations, where
you could endanger other people, e.g. on sidewalks, public squares and
roads.
5. Children under 8 years old must always be supervised when riding a
skateboard.
6. The most severe injuries are broken bones. For that reason, correct
falling and rolling off must be learned first.

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
a. 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.
b. 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.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
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.
Keep your skateboard in good condition!
1. Wear and tear requires regular maintenance and repair.
2. If it becomes necessary to replace some components, always use
original spare parts for your own safety. Please contact our customer
service as per information below.
3. Worn castors can be replaced easily by loosening the respective bolts.
4. Sharp edges caused by using the skateboard must be neutralized.
Remove cracks and splints immediately.
5. Replace defective parts of the skateboard immediately.
6. Even high-quality boards must be checked prior to every use, especially
the bolts and wheels.
7. Check the axle suspension. All bolts must be tightened.
8. Check the bearings regularly for dirt, and clean them, e.g. with benzene.
After cleaning, lubricate the bearings again. To do so, use a suitable
lubricant. Make sure no sand can enter the ball bearings.
9. IMPORTANT: Do not modify your skateboard in a way that could affect
the safety.
