injuries.
• Join a club in your area and learn more. Prove you are a good skateboarder
and care about yourself and others.

which may lead to destruction, the risk of fire and not least to injuries.
• Rechargeable batteries must be removed from the skateboard before char-
ging.
• Make sure that rechargeable batteries are only charged under adult supervi-
sion.
• Use only the batteries specified in these instructions.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
INSERTING BATTERIES/BATTERY REPLACEMENT
•
In order to switch on the lighting you need to insert 2 x 2 AAA batteries. The
batteries are not included in the shipment. These batteries can be purchased
commercially anywhere.
• In order to insert the batteries, turn the skateboard so that you have good
access to the battery cladding underneath the deck. Open the respective
battery compartment and insert 2 batteries, or else replace them. Pay atten-
tion to the correct polarity.
• Activate the small lever on the respective battery compartment in order to
turn the lighting on or off.
NOTHING’S EASY AT FIRST...
...most accidents happen to „beginners” within the first ten minutes. Particular
care should be taken during this stage.
SKATEBOARDING TECHNIQUES
1. STARTING POSITION
As an inexperienced skateboarder you should initially place a forward-facing
foot level above the front wheels. Put a little weight on the foot and gently bend
your knee. The second foot is then placed at a right angle on the board, over the
rear axle. Take care that it is always the front foot you put your weight on, i.e. the
weight is always shifted forwards. Take care to alight towards the front as a
basic principle. After a few attempts you will notice that you get an improved feel
for the skateboard. By tightening and loosening the kingpin safety nut on the
bottom of the skateboard and the related change of pressure on the steering
buffer, you can influence the movement radius of the skateboard.
2. FIRST ATTEMPT AT RIDING ON THE SKATEBOARD
Try to tilt the board right and left along the longitudinal axis by shifting your
weight. This shifting of weight comes from the knee and ankle joints, while the
upper body stays upright. Use your arms to keep your balance. To get going with
the skateboard, firstly place one foot on the board, as described in the starting
position section. Push off repeatedly with the other foot. As soon as your skate-
board gathers sufficient momentum, put your second foot on the rear part of the
board. Take care to never place a foot at the end of the board. Beginners should
initially stay off sloping ground.
3. BRAKING
3.1 Braking when travelling slowly
Firstly place your back foot on the ground near the board and run along, braking
the board gradually. The front foot stays on the board until the braking is finished.
3.2 Braking when travelling more quickly
This is a similar process to braking when travelling slowly. However after the
first braking movement with the back foot, the front foot is also taken off the
board. It is important to stop the skateboard immediately after jumping off it. An
uncontrolled skateboard that continues to run on constitutes a general danger.
3.3 ”Wheelie stop”
This type of braking is only suitable for experienced skateboarders. The back
foot pushes the Skateboard firmly against the ground for this, so that it drags
along the ground until it comes to a stop. Please note that this kind of braking
inevitably leads to the scuffing of the board.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
WARNING - Skateboarding can be dangerous!
• Your skateboard corresponds to the highest quality standards. All materials
have been carefully chosen and assembled using quality assured measures
so that the product can have a wide spectrum of uses. However we would
also like to point out that inexperienced use of the skateboard and improper
handling can quickly lead to excessive wear, damage to the product, or inju-
ries. Therefore we cannot take responsibility for damages arising from such
actions.
• Beginners should practice their skateboarding with a friend or their parents.
• Children under 8 years of age should always be supervised when skateboar-
ding.
• When skateboarding, safety always has precedence over speed! Never travel
downhill quicker than you could run if you jumped off!
• Running on a skateboard or jumping on one can be dangerous!
• A surface must be chosen which makes it possible for your skateboarding
skills to be improved – not pavements or streets where serious accidents
could happen to skateboarders or others.
• Skateboarding on wet or uneven surfaces should be avoided.
• Take your time to learn new things, including new tricks. If you lose your
balance you should not wait until you fall off, but should jump off and start
again. Initially you should only descend on moderate slopes. After that you
should only use the skateboard on slopes where your speed is kept at a level
where you could jump off the board without falling.
• The worst injuries are fractures so you should first learn how to fall without
a skateboard (using a rolling motion if possible).
• Before jumping off the skateboard you should watch out for where it might
roll – it could injure others.
• Never go skateboarding without hand, wrist, knee and elbow guards and a
helmet!
• Wear sports shoes with end-to-end anti-slip soles when skateboarding!
Make sure that the soles are dry.
• Use the skateboard on surfaces suitable for skateboarding. They should be
flat, clean, dry and as free from traffic as possible.
• Always be considerate of other road users and please note that a skateboard
is not a vehicle in the sense of road traffic regulations. Do not use it in traffic.
• Before you begin, check the roller wheels and axles and connecting ele-
ments. They should all be tightened properly.
• Adjust your speed in accordance with your skateboarding abilities.
• Do not carry out any changes to the skateboard which would affect its safe-
ty. The self-locking effects of self-securing nuts and the paintwork can be
reduced after repeated loosening and tightening of the fastening elements.
• Regular checks, maintenance and servicing will increase the safety and life-
span of your skateboard.
