Learn to ride a Skatebike & tricks - From your first ride to new tricks

How do you learn to ride a Skatebike?

Riding a Skatebike for the first time will probably feel a little strange. That's part of learning. You need to pedal, keep your balance and discover how the Skatebike responds to your movements at the same time.

Start slowly. Your first ride isn't about speed or tricks, but about getting a feel for the Skatebike. Once you discover how to use your balance to ride and steer, those first few metres quickly become easier.

From wobbling to control

The best way to learn Skatebiking is by doing it. Start by trying to ride a few metres in a straight line. Then practise steering, taking corners and gaining more and more control over your Skatebike.

Every time you get on, you'll learn something new. You don't need to master everything straight away. That progression from a few wobbly metres to confidently riding around is exactly what makes Skatebiking so much fun.

Learning tricks on your Skatebike

Got the basics under control? Then it's time for a new challenge. As your balance and control improve, you can start discovering what else is possible on a Skatebike.

Start with simple movements and build up gradually. From tighter turns and playing with your balance to riding on one wheel and learning other Skatebike tricks: the better you learn to control your Skatebike, the more you can try.

Keep trying

A new move might not work straight away. That's okay. Try again, work out what you can do differently and discover how something that once seemed impossible eventually starts to feel natural.

So get on your Skatebike, head outside and discover how good you can become.
