Some owners personalize their boards by decorating it with lots of stickers. R iding a kickboard is easy. You just put one foot on the board and kick the ground with the other foot. If you shift your weight sideways, the board will turn in that direction. T he kickboard doesn't take up much space when you fold up its lightweight aluminum handle, so some kids carry it onto the train after riding it to the station.
Adults use it, too, on their commute or when shopping.
U nfortunately, there have been several accidents in which kickboarders weaving through crowded sidewalks or shopping areas ran into pedestrians and caused them injuries. For those who ride it, the kickboard is not just a vehicle but also part of their fashion.
