Tips
Basic Stance
The T-Board is not a skateboard. Your feet should be sideways on the board, not facing front. The Board is directional, so make sure you are moving toward the front end of the board (Tierney Rides Type is toward the rear. Face down the slope, legs slightly bent, shoulders turned forward and arms extended for balance).
Turns:
Keep your arms in front for balance. Turns are made with the body—not the feet—by leaning forward or backward and from side to side, toward the toe edge or heel edge of the board for steering and speed control.
Slowing / Stopping
For starters, don’t ride beyond your limits. Okay, that said, the best way to reduce your speed is to carve back and forth into the hill in a swooping "s" until you reach a speed you are comfortable with. The best way to stop is simply to—in a controlled manner—step off of the board.
Safety:
All sports carry a risk of injury. Sometimes accidents happen which are truly unavoidable
but usually there are ways to reduce the risks of anything nasty happening.
1. Always wear protective gear.Helmets. Knee, elbow and wrist guards.
2. Inspect your board before every session. Check the wheels for excessive wear. Make sure all bolts are tight and the wheels are seated properly. And examine the platform for cracks or stress lines.
3. Live to ride another day. On any new terrain, start slowly. Test the traction limits of your wheels. Carve progressively harder to determine the limits
of your comfort zone.
