How to Ride a Hoverboard (6 Really Great Tips)

The hoverboard — also known as the self-balancing scooter — has become one of the most exciting ways to move around in this age.

As exciting and fun as it might be, riding a hoverboard requires quite a learning curve. In today’s video, we’re going to be taking you through how to ride a hoverboard.

Before you jump on a hoverboard (especially as a beginner), your safety is the first point of attention.

It is very important that you put on safety gear before you start riding a hoverboard, even more important if it is your first time. They protect you from suffering injury in case of a crash.

Safety gear you need to put on include:
1. A helmet
2. Wrist guards
3. Knee pads
4. Elbow pads
5. Tailbone protector

Now that your safety box is checked, we can now move into learning how to ride a hoverboard.

I really suggest having a chair that rules in front of you and something cushioning behind you and that’s how you can start learning how to move forward and backwards
