Does this mean that you place weight forward to go faster? That would be the opposite of natural. Weight to the back is safe, it is the stance to adopt unless you like slamming your shoulder into the pavement. I believe I would much rather have a remote than have to worry about how I place my feet and shift my weight. With big wheels like that it's less of a concern, but you'd be shocked at how often you need to shift your weight just ridding down a sidewalk.
- phamilton 12y agoIt's supposed to be the opposite if natural. When you accelerate, you naturally lean back. You wouldn't want intentional acceleration to cause additional acceleration. You would want to keep it in check and only accelerate when the riser demonstrates they are sufficiently in control of their weight balance.
