35 Raith User Guide
BASIC RIDING TIPS
Whether you’re a new rider or seasoned pro, it’s important
to take your time to get acquainted with your board and how
to ride it.
Learn your stance
Try standing on your board, and find what feels comfortable.
Everyone is different so experiment with either having your
left foot facing the front (regular) or your right foot facing the
front (goofy)
Take it slow
As you learn to ride your Raith Midnight, start off in the
slowest torque setting, this will allow you to understand how
the board works, and prepare yourself for the higher speed
modes.
Shift your weight
When accelerating, it is advised to shift your weight more
towards your front foot, this will help you balance as your
board accelerates. When you need to use the brakes, shift
your weight slightly to your rear foot, this will also help with
stability as you decelerate, and as you come to a safe
speed, your body will naturally shift weight to a neutral
stance.
