Understanding how an electric skateboard works and feels under your feet forms a base for everything you will be doing. Learn how the board and remote respond so you can use the ideal amount of acceleration or braking, without being jerky on the triggers. When it comes to speed, our general rule is not to ride any faster than you can run. There isn't a stance that is perfect for all rdiding styles and situations. A good starting point is to make sure your legs are wide apart, and your knees slightly bent. You need to get familiar with your weight distribution. Shifting forward and backward compensates for acceleration and braking, and of course, side to side is how you turn. A couple of drills you can do in an open and quiet area is to stop and start in a straight line until you are comfortable taking off and stopping at all speeds.
