Do not stunt ride – know your abilities and limits and always ride with
control.
Do not apply any alterations to your skateboard which would affect
your safety.
Frequent change of wheels can cause the Loctite to become ineffective
and must be reapplied.
WARNINGS!
Skateboarding can be dangerous even under the best of circumstances.
Serious injury or even death is possible.
Always wear approved protective gear when riding your skateboard.
Keep all straps securely buckled/locked. Failure to wear approved
protective gear may result in serious injury or death.
Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility. The risk of
accidents and injury is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Riding at dusk, after dark, or at times of poor visibility is dangerous and
can result in serious injury or death.
Modifying your skateboard in any way may damage the proper security
of the skate board and may result in serious injury or death.
Running or jumping on skateboards can be dangerous.
STARTING OUT
Time to get rolling on your new skateboard.
Choose your dominate foot, which-ever feels best, and place it on the
front of the deck.
Push off with the other foot to get rolling.
Your back-foot rests on the tail when riding.
HOW TO BRAKE
To stop your skateboard, push down your rear tail of your skateboard
until it hits the ground by lowering your weight towards the rear tail.
Keep you balanced on the deck with your front foot.
MAINTENANCE
Always check wheels, trucks, nuts, bearings and the self-locking fixings
before and after each use, it may lose their effectiveness.
If wheels are not working normally, stop riding and inspect the
wheels and bearings. If wheels are losing, tighten them with a socket
wrench. Always check the wood of your deck before using. When
noticing cracks do not ride the skateboard and replace the deck by a
new one. Check all parts for wear and tear. Replace any part if it is
worn or does not function correctly.
Failure to properly follow these recommended safety precautions
could result in serious injury. Board smart and use common sense.
Do not use the skateboard in any way that would violate commonly
accepted safety practices or laws. ALWAYS wear your protective gear.
The variable steering control screw can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the front steering tension according to the weight of the
user. Use a socket wrench to do this properly.
Clean your skateboard with a soft, moist cloth after each use. You
should also clean the bearings regularly using a soft, moist cloth and
grease them periodically. Exchange if necessary. Wheels have to be
replaced when worn down. Remove any burs and ridges that can
occur through usage to prevent injuries.
IMPORTANT
Choose to skateboard a place, which allow you to improve your
skills, not on pavements or street, where serious accidents have
happened to skateboarders and other people. Children under
fourteen years old should be supervised at all times when
skateboarding. Learn everything slowly including new tricks. When
losing balance don't walk until you fall, step off end start again. Ride
slopes where your speed is only as fast as you can run off the board
without falling. Most serious skateboard injuries are broken bones
so learn to fall (by rolling if possible) without the skateboard first.
Skateboarders who starting to learn should try with a friend or
parent.
Most bad accidents happen in the first month.
Before you jump off a skateboard watch where it may go to because
it could injure someone else.
