How to accelerate and decelerate when skateboarding?

Pump hard with your back foot. At the beginning of acceleration, you can only rely on your back foot to rub the ground and rely on the foot brake.

To decelerate, use the tail brake. The tail brake is to step on the tail of the board with your back foot while gliding, and let the tail of the board rub against the ground to achieve the purpose of deceleration and braking. This braking method has certain requirements on the skater's own balance, and beginners may not be able to control it well. At the same time, although the tail brake looks cool, it is also very laborious on the tail.

Notes:

1. Master the skills of skateboarding before actual operation. Before skateboarding, beginners should read basic books or videos about skateboarding to master the skills and precautions for skateboarding, especially measures to deal with dangerous situations. If you have the conditions, you can find a teacher to teach users how to practice skateboarding.

2. For beginners, skateboarding is relatively unfamiliar and it is difficult to find the center of gravity and it is easy to fall, so it is very important to learn the skills first. After learning the skills, you can start practicing slowly, and if you persist for a long time, you will be able to master the skateboarding skills.

3. Skateboarding has relatively high requirements on the condition of the ground. Especially for beginners, they must choose a location with a flat ground. In addition, the location chosen should have a relatively small flow of people to avoid hitting pedestrians. The best places for skateboarding are mainly flat open spaces in parks or squares, and you cannot practice on the road.
