your Axle and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will
help you feel more secure. The Axle is an incredibly intuitive device;
it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or
reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger
unwanted movement.
When you first begin using your Axle, the fastest way to move in your
desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that just
thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your center
of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that
direction.
Your center of gravity determines which direction you move,
accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As
described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the
direction you wish to move.
To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.
As you get comfortable on the Axle, you will notice it becomes
easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to
shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then
dismount and carry your Axle to a safe operating surface.

WARNING
