SAFETY INSTRUCTIoNS
• WARNING - Skateboarding can be dangerous!
• Your skateboard corresponds to the highest quality standards. All materials have been
carefully chosen and assembled using quality assured measures so that the product
can have a wide spectrum of uses. However we would also like to point out that inexpe-
rienced use of the skateboard and improper handling can quickly lead to excessive
wear, damage to the product, or injuries. Therefore we cannot take responsibility for
damages arising from such actions.
• Beginners should practice their skateboarding with a friend or their parents.
• Children under 8 years of age should always be supervised when skateboarding.
• When skateboarding safety always has precedence over speed! Never travel downhill
quicker than you could run if you jumped off!
• Running on a skateboard or jumping on one can be dangerous!
• A surface must be chosen which makes it possible for skateboarding skills to be impro-
ved – not pavements or streets where serious accidents could happen to skateboarders
or others.
• Skateboarding on wet or uneven surfaces should be avoided.
• It takes time to learn anything, new tricks also. If you lose your balance you should not
wait until you fall off, but should jump off and start again. Initially you should only de-
scend on moderate slopes. After that you should only use the skateboard on slopes
where your speed is kept at a level where you could jump off the board without falling.
• The worst injuries are fractures so you should first learn how to fall without a skate-
board (using a rolling motion if possible).
• Before jumping off the skateboard you should watch out for where it might roll – it could
injure others.
• Never go skateboarding without hand, wrist, knee and elbow guards and a helmet!
• Wear sports shoes with end-to-end anti-slip soles when skateboarding! Make sure that
the soles are dry.
• Use the skateboard on surfaces suitable for skateboarding. They should be flat, clean,
dry and as free from traffic as possible.
• Always be considerate of other road users and please note that a skateboard is not a
vehicle in the sense of road traffic regulations. Don't use it in traffic.
• Before you begin, check the roller wheels and axles and connecting elements. They
should all be tightened properly.
• Adjust your speed in accordance with your skateboarding abilities.
• Do not carry out any changes to the skateboard which would affect its safety. The self-
locking effects of self-securing nuts and the paintwork can be reduced after repeated
loosening and tightening of the fastening elements.
• Regular checks, maintenance and servicing will increase the safety and lifespan of your
skateboard.
• Look for splits and cracks on the board! Remove them, if required. This is for your
safety.
• Join a club in your area and learn more. Prove you are a good skateboarder and care
about yourself and others.
USAGE INSTRUCTIoNS
NoTHING'S EASY AT FIRST ...
... most accidents happen to "beginners" within the first ten minutes. Particular care should
be taken during this stage.
1. STARTING poSITIoN
As an inexperienced skateboarder you should initially place a forward-facing foot level with
the front wheels. Put a little weight on the foot and gently bend your knee. The second foot
is then placed at a right angle on the board, over the rear axle. Take care that it is always
the front foot you put your weight on, i.e. the weight is always shifted forwards. Take care
to alight towards the front as a basic principle. After a few attempts you will notice that you
get an improved feel for the skateboard. By tightening and loosening the kingpin nut on the
underside of the skateboard and the connected change in the pressure on the bushings, the
movement radius of the skateboard can be controlled.
All images are examples of the design.
2. FIRST ATTEmpT AT RIdING oN THE SKATEBoARd
Try to tilt the board right and left along the longitudinal axis by shifting your weight. This
shifting of weight comes from the knee and ankle joints, while the upper body stays upright.
Use your arms to keep your balance. To get going with the skateboard, firstly place one foot
on the board, as described in the starting position section. Push off repeatedly with the other
foot. As soon as your skateboard gathers sufficient momentum, put your second foot on the
rear part of the board. Take care to never place a foot at the end of the board. Beginners
should initially stay off sloping ground.
3. BRAKING
3.1 Braking when travelling slowly
Firstly place your back foot on the ground near the board and use it to brake gradually. The
front foot stays on the board until the braking is finished.
3.2 Braking when travelling more quickly
This is a similar process to braking when travelling slowly. However after the first braking
movement with the back foot the front foot is also taken off the board. It is important to stop
the skateboard immediately after jumping off it. An uncontrolled skateboard that continues
to run on constitutes a general danger.
3.3 "Wheelie stop"
This type of braking is only for experienced skateboarders. The back foot pushes the Skate-
board firmly against the ground for this, so that it drags along the ground until it comes to
a stop. Please note that this kind of braking inevitably leads to the scuffing of the board.
4. CoRNERING TECHNIqUE
Skateboards can generally be steered by shifting one's body weight. In order to set your
favorite steering transmission, loosen the kingpin or screw it in tighter. The kingpin is the
screw that is screwed in from below through the axis in the truck and which presses the in-
stalled PU cushions together depending on the setting. Make sure that you do not loosen the
kingpin too much. Its head in the interior of the truck could otherwise twist and you would
have to detach the truck from the board completely in order to reset the basic position. The
correct steering setting should be checked before every use. Damaged or cracked buffers
must be replaced! Firstly note the starting position. Now bend your knee somewhat lower
and shift your weight to the side of the board on which you want to take the corner. To take a
right-hand corner you must shift your weight to the right, to take a left-hand corner you must
shift your weight to the left. Initially practice taking a left-hander and then a right-hander.
Following this, try to combine a right-hander with a left-hander. The size of the radius of the
turn will depend on how strongly you have exerted lateral pressure. The more pressure you
exert, the tighter your cornering will be.
mAINTENANCE AND SToRAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning agents! Check
the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and after each use. Do not make
any structural changes. For your own safety, please use original spare parts only. These can
be sourced from HUDORA. If parts become damaged or if sharp edges or corners should
develop, the product may not be used any more. If in any doubt, please contact our service
team (http://www.hudora.de/). Store the product in a safe place where it is protected from
the elements, cannot be damaged, and cannot injure anyone. The board should be protected
in particular from UV rays, so store in a dark place to extend the board's useful life. But we
generally recommend changing out the board after 5 years of use.
RoLLER WHEEL ANd BEARING REpLACEmENT
Regular maintenance of the skateboard contributes in keeping it safe! It is therefore neces-
sary to regularly check that all parts are functioning perfectly. Roller wheels and bearings
the available as accessories and can be replaced independent of each other when they have
worn out. While changing the wheels, keep in mind that the bearing needs to be removed
from the old wheels and attached to the new ones. To do this, unfasten the axle nuts, remove
the wheel and press out the bearing from the wheel using a suitable tool. Then insert the
bearing into the new roller wheels and position on the axle again. Now fasten the axle nuts.
(also see the Safety instructions!). The skateboard has industrial bearings that have been
filled with grease under high pressure. This is the reason why the roller wheels function
easily and quickly only under load. The bearings also need to be replaced if they stop func-
tioning properly. But they must never be separated!
DISPoSAL ADVICE
At the end of the product's life, please dispose of it at an appropriate collection point provi-
ded in your area. Local waste management companies will be able to answer your questions
on this.
