Proper Protection/Safety; Riding Basics - Boosted MINI Manual

PROPER PROTECTION/SAFETY

• Always wear a helmet.
• Find an open, flat area with clean pavement
for your first ride.
• Read the warnings on the board and at the beginning
of this manual. For more details on riding, check out
the online tutorials at boostedboards.com/support.
• Other protective equipment is highly recommended
(knee pads, long sleeves, wrist guards).

RIDING BASICS

Some people can ride with either foot forward, but
most have a dominant foot. To determine which
is your dominant foot, stand on solid ground with
both feet together and lean forward to the point
of falling. Whichever foot you step forward with to
catch yourself from falling is likely your dominant
foot and the one you should lead with while riding.
If you lead with your left foot, you ride "regular". If
you lead with your right, you ride "goofy".
If you don't know which foot to choose, opt for
whichever one allows you to face traffic when riding.
Stance
Your Boosted board has a lot of power. Follow
these tips to ensure a safe riding experience:
• Place one foot over each truck.
• Keep a low center of gravity.
• Move the Throttle Wheel in small increments.
• Lean forward when accelerating.
• Lean backwards when braking.
More experienced riders may prefer placing their back
foot over the kicktail. This stance allows you to apply
pressure to the kicktail and lift the front end of the
board off the ground when going over cracks. Note:
Applying pressure to the kicktail increases your chances
of falling backwards or wheelying while accelerating.
Avoid things that can cause loss of control or collision:
Larger Rocks
Gravel
Water Cracks
Steep Hills Traffic
Downhill Night Time
Poor Visibility
Tracks
Grates/Drains Narrow Spaces
Wet Surfaces Slippery Surfaces
