SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING - Skateboarding can be dangerous!
• Your skateboard corresponds to the highest quality standards. All materials have been careful-
ly 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 inexperienced 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 your skateboarding skills to be improved
– not pavements or streets where serious accidents could happen to skateboarders or others.
• Skateboarding on wet or uneven surfaces should be avoided.
• Take your time to learn new things, including new tricks. If you lose your balance you should
not wait until you fall off, but should jump off and start again. Initially you should only descend
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. Do not 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 selflocking
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 skate-
board.
• Look for splits and cracks on the board! Remove them, if required, to avoid injuries.
• 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 above 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 run along, braking the board gradu-
ally. 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 mo-
vement 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 suitable for experienced skateboarders. The back foot pushes the
Skateboard 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 installed 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.
5. PUMPING
Pumping is a style of skateboarding, where one accelerates without taking the foot off the board.
During pumping, one curve follows the other. By shifting your weight the curve is initiated; further-
more your rhythmically put more or less weight on the board and in addition your upper body and
your arms rotate in sync with it. The deck and the axles convert the energy of the weight shifts and
the rotational movement, which makes the skateboard gain momentum.
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 structu-
ral 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.
ROLLER WHEEL AND BEARING REPLACEMENT
Regular maintenance of the skateboard contributes in keeping it safe! It is therefore necessary 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 functioning properly. But they must never be separated!
DISPOSAL ADVICE
