Safe Braking Technique on a Board

Foot braking is one of the first safety skills every beginner learns to control momentum. By gradually lowering the back foot until the sole drags against the ground, the skater comes to a smooth halt while wearing full protective gear.

Friction and Stopping Distance

Rubber shoe soles create friction against the ground surface to absorb kinetic energy and slow the board down. Skaters learn to apply gentle downward pressure with the heel to avoid sudden stops that could throw off their balance.

Authentic Colors of Skate Gear

  • Shoe sole: Brown gum rubber or white vulcanized rubber
  • Skateboarding pads: Dark fabric straps with hard white plastic shells
  • Skateboard deck bottom: Printed graphic art on finished maple wood
  • Pavement ground: Neutral gray asphalt pavement
