SAFETY (Cont.)
Never ride on pedestrian sidewalks.
Being seen is very important. Brightly colored clothing and safety gear can
increase visibility.
Familiarize yourself with the powerboard. Take turns slowly and provide
plenty of stopping distance. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar
with the handling of the powerboard.
Stand firm but relaxed. Keep weight between the wheels. Don’t stand too
close to the front or lean too far back. Shift your weight to the rear when
applying brakes, and lean toward the front when accelerating. Keep feet
apart for more stability.
Learn to adjust your center of gravity to maintain stability. Practice this at a
safe, slow speed until you are comfortable with this action.
Be aware of everything around you when you ride. Hazards vary by area.
Ride in areas that you know well until you are comfortable with operation.
Consider noise while you are riding, as it may dilute your ability to hear
hazards, such as automobiles. Do not wear headphones while operating a
powerboard.
