Steps
-
Back foot on the tail
Back foot on the tail, front foot over the front bolts. Roll slowly.
-
Weight back
Press gently on the tail so the nose lifts. Back wheels stay down, the tail doesn't scrape.
-
Lead with your shoulders
Turn your head and shoulders where you want to go first. Hips and board follow.
-
Nose down
Once you've turned, set the nose down with your front foot, centre up and keep rolling.
