However, these sports are already popular. Only time will tell how dangerous this new sport is in comparison. Your scooter experience can be made more enjoyable if you know how to use one properly. Stand with your foot pointed forward and in the center of the deck for stability. Toes should never face the side of the deck as they can in skateboarding or surfing.
Scooters can gain speed quite quickly.
When coasting down a hill or sailing around a curve, always keep a hand or foot on the brake. To brake, use the hand brake or the brake located on the rear wheel. If you aren't going too quickly, just step off. Adjust the handlebars so that they are located about two or three inches below your waist. To get a balanced workout, be sure to switch kicking legs.
