"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. You do this by pushing your legs against the ground, pulling your back leg upwards and kicking your front foot forward. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. The faster you go, the more you will have to lift your legs and kick them forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
Once you know how to stop yourself from crashing into the ground, you must find out how fast you want to go. There are many ways you can measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. You can practice controlling your speed by measuring your speed using timing or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered the art of slowing down and speeding things up, it's time for you to master how to turn. To turn, you must simply lean to the side you desire to move towards. Don't lean too far or you will crash to the ground. Too much and you'll be unable to turn. Once you know how to turn, you can start learning tricks. Tricks require precise timing and balance to perform on the slopes. They include tricks such as flips and spins.
There are many types of tricks. For example, some tricks involve jumping over obstacles, tricks that involve flipping over obstacles, and tricks that involve spinning over obstacles.
