Stopping Techniques: Sliding to a Stop
This involves sliding out the rear wheels and steering into the slide with the
front wheels. Learning to slide the rear wheels is easy, but comes after learn-
ing how to kick forward and foot brake with either foot. Sliding to a stop is a
critical skill. Continue practicing until you can slide to a stop from any turn at
any speed.
Start out on a flat, smooth, wide-open pavement. Kick up to speed and lightly
glide your braking foot over the pavement while making a wide turn to the brak-
ing side; this is the natural (on-side) position for a foot-down sliding turn.
Once you become comfortable with the on-side braking position, bank the
deck deeper into the turn, shift weight onto the braking foot, pushing the deck
away with the non-braking foot while pulling back slightly on the bars with your
hands. Look to the outside of the turn and your hands should naturally steer
into the slide as you come to a stop.
Experiment with your foot braking pressure, how hard you push out the deck,
and how hard you pull back on the bars with your hands.
Slowing Down with Linked Sliding Turns
Slowing down with linked sliding turns should be learned
AFTER you have
mastered foot braking on both sides, carving slalom turns, and turning to a
sliding stop.
Find a location where you can do 4-5 wide round slalom turns and come to
a controlled stop at the bottom. Speed range for learning to slide should not
exceed 15 mph. To initiate a slide, simply add a pulse of mid-turn down force
with your legs as you press into the banked deck. The rear wheels should drift
toward the outside of the turn a few inches. Be sure to keep your eyes focused
on where you want to go and keep your hands relaxed so you can steer through
the slide.
To stop sliding, simply suck up your knees and take some
of the pressure off the banked deck. Once the rear wheels
hook up again bank the deck and handlebars hard over the
other direction. Focus on the new turn and get ready to
extend your knees and add another pulse of mid-turn pres-
sure to the deck. At any time you should be able to put
down your on-side foot, maintain the mid-turn pressure on
the deck and steer into a sliding stop.

MAINTENANCE
Wheels and Bearings
It is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to periodically inspect the wheels and
bearings for wear and tear, and check the NYLOCK AXLE NUTS for proper tightness.
Eventually wheels and bearings wear and need replacement. The life of these
components depends on the kind of riding done. Lots of sliding will wear out wheels and
riding in dirty or wet conditions will prematurely shorten bearing life. Worn wheels and
bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the Nextsport
Limited Warranty.
Wheels other than genuine Fuzion™ wheels may not be compatible with your
Scooter. Always use genuine Fuzion replacement parts.
Cleaning your Scooter
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use industrial cleaners or
solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or
ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components or
soften the decals or decal adhesive.
