Remember To Follow Basic Safety Measures Before Attempting To Perform Scooter Tricks

There are many different types of scooter tricks that anyone with decent riding abilities can perform and one such is known as the Bunny Hop which is in fact a basic trick that you should learn because it will stand you in good stead when wanting to do other and more difficult types of tricks. It is however not difficult to learn and before you do anything else, first build up a good head of speed and then bend your knees and remember by bending as low as possible you will be able to get up higher in the air.

Higher And Higher

Once you have bent down as low as possible, you then need to spring up high and in doing so you must pull up the handle bars higher and higher and remember the higher that you pull up the handle bars the higher you will be able to go. The next step to performing this simple scooter trick is to level out and then land as well as roll away cleanly and remember that you should never attempt this or any other scooter tricks without wearing a helmet.

There are several other scooter tricks worth learning among which is some that are known as the Indy, Mellon and Superman, which are air tricks. In addition, there is also the Superman Seat Grab, Rodeo and Back flip or Front flip and finally, One Footed Air Push and a whole lot more - some of which only people with advanced riding skills can perform.

However, before attempting any kind of scooter tricks you should be aware that they could end up causing you hurt, pain, injury and damage and you could even end up wrecking your scooter in the process. Thus, you should realize that you would be performing scooter tricks at your own risk and to be on the safe side you should not only wear the appropriate gear, but also have somebody experienced around when attempting scooter tricks.

Among the safety tips regarding performing scooter tricks you need to first of all ensure that your scooter is in proper working condition, and so you need to check that folding mechanisms are locked up and wheels are spinning freely and also without any rattle. Also, while performing scooter tricks, you need to be on the lookout for cars ahead and behind you and never attempt these tricks in busy places such as shopping areas.

What's more, when attempting scooter tricks in wet conditions you need to be extra careful and be aware that your scooter's brakes can easily fail and wheels too will tend to skid quite easily. Performing scooter tricks at night is a no-no - at least not without donning appropriate reflective clothes. And finally, you should also attempt only those tricks that you feel are within your abilities and thus you should never attempt tricks that are outside of your riding capabilities.
