Riding Forward/Backward
1. With your instructor available to assist you, slowly lean forward and feel the PTR move forward. Then stop leaning forward
and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
WARNING
Your first movements should be slow and gentle, and your body should be relaxed. Rocking back and forth may cause a loss
of traction and could result in a fall.
2. Look behind you and then slowly lean back and feel the PTR move backward. Then stop leaning back and feel it slow down
and stop. Do this a few times until it feels comfortable.
NOTICE
You should not ride backward except to maneuver a few feet. Instead, turn in place, then ride forward. If you ride backward too
fast, a safety alarm will be triggered, telling you to slow down.
