Introduction: Waveboard Riding and Tricks

A waveboard is like a skateboard with two wheels. It rotates in the middle so the wave motion happens. It is made for riding flat and on a slight slope. If you wave enough you can go uphill. While a beginner, start on the flat and when you get more confident strt going downhill.

Step 1: You Will Need

Step 2: Getting on

There are two ways to get on.

1. Tilt the waveboard forward, put your feet on, and push your heels backward.

2. With your foot, push one of the sides up and put one foot on, jump the other foot up.

Step 3: Riding (waving)

Once you can get on and move like a skateboard, try the waving. While moving, tilt one foot forward and one foot back at the same time. If you find this hard, try doing it still and holding onto something.

Step 4: Stopping

To stop, you just lean forward and tilt your feet forwards. Alternatively, you can just jump off.

Step 5: Turning

To turn, you lean forward slightly and move your left foot a bit forward.
