Setup
Wear a helmet and wrist and knee guards. Check your wheels and trucks, and start on a flat area with few people.
Start phase
Place your front foot on the board and push lightly with your back foot. Bend your knees to lower your center and ride slowly.
End phase
Slow down and step off the board safely as you finish. Gently loosen your legs, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Pushing and balancing work your cardiovascular system and legs. Use your core to keep your center steady on the board.
Common mistakes
Avoid slopes or tricks beyond your skill level. When you fall, roll to spread the impact instead of catching yourself only with your hands.
Breathing
Breathe comfortably in rhythm with your pushing and riding. Keep breathing even when trying tricks.
Coach tip
Record the time spent skateboarding. Do not enter trick counts or distance.
