MAINTENANCE
1.
RIDING POSITION
Position knees and shins on the outer foam pads
as if kneeling. Grasp the handle bars with both
hands. Shift your body weight towards your feet
(to the rear of the board), arms slightly bent. Your
head should be positioned behind the handlebars,
eyes looking forward. (figure 1)
2.
MOVEMENT (Kicking and Pumping)
Movement by kicking is achieved by positioning
one leg in the U-shaped center cutout area.
Then rapidly pushing your foot against the
pavement. Repeat this motion several times,
returning the kick leg to the knee pad then gliding.
Kick, kick, glide. ALWAYS have both hands on
the handlebar while kicking. Practice kicking with
both legs in order to familiarize yourself with the
LANDSHARK and learn the most comfortable rid-
ing technique for you. (figure 2)
Movement by pumping is achieved without kicking. Assume the riding position. Both
hands should be on the grips, knees on the pads, weight shifted back and head behind
the handlebars. Quickly turn the handlebars back and forth, and wiggle like a shark.
Practice kicking, gliding and pumping. Repeat until you are comfortable. Proper
technique and riding position will ensure balance and stability.
3.
TURNING and STEERING
Your kneeboard has 180º steering which allows you to turn quickly and sharply. By
turning the handlebar, the wheels will steer like a bicycle. By varying the degree of
rotation you can achieve gentle curves, circles, or 180º direction change.
Ride on smooth flat pavement away from traffic and obstacles. With eyes looking
forward and head behind handlebars, kick for movement. Initiate a turn by slowly
turning the handlebars in the direction you want to go. Start with wide smooth turns.
Practice by making big circles in both directions and figure eights. Repeat until you are
comfortable. By relaxing your grip on the handlebars, your hands will naturally follow
your head and eye movement.
A rapid turning motion will result in a rapid direction change.
Practice your LANDSHARK steering. Repeat until you are comfortable.
Proper technique will ensure balance and stability.
4.
BRAKING
Controlling speed and stopping are basic riding skills that must be learned. It is dan-
gerous to ride faster than your ability to turn, slow down and stop. Always exercise
good judgment, ride within your skill level and remain safe.
While in the proper riding position, gradually squeeze the hand mounted lever inward
with both hands. Varying the degree of squeezing will result in speed reduction or
stopping. Practice using the brake lever to slow down gradually and then stop. Your
head should be positioned behind the handlebars, eyes looking forward. (figure 1)
A strong and rapid braking motion could result in a sudden stop. Practice
braking your LANDSHARK. Repeat until you are comfortable. Proper technique
will ensure balance and stability.
Wheels and Bearings
It is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to periodically inspect the wheels and
bearings for wear and tear.
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
Kneeboard. Always use genuine Fuzion replacement parts.
Cleaning your Kneeboard
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use industrial cleaners or sol-
vents 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.
