Sometimes riding down a hill on a longboard can be hard. This quick article will show you how to prevent "speed wobble", the most common cause of accidents that occur while riding on a longboard.
Bend your knees to where it is comfortable for you, as you start to ride down the hill.
Lean toe-side to heel-side to toe-side to heel-side. This is also referred to as carving.
When you can tell that your board is starting to go faster, bend your front knee slightly more than your other, gaining 90% of your weight on your front foot.
Watch out for cracks in the road, but don't get nervous and concentrate on what your ankles are doing. This could CAUSE speed wobble. Instead just look up ahead of you and try to relax.
