 Carve deep smooth turns, slide, or air out--it's all up to you. |
You can place your feet anywhere that is comfortable. Most people like a parallel stance with toes facing forward and feet slightly spread forward and back. Learning to kick with either foot, foot brake, and slide turns with either foot, means you will be free to develop your own style of riding.
Turning The Asphalt
The Fuzion Asphalt Ultimate Carving Machine has independent control of the front and rear wheel steering. The front wheels steer the front of the Asphalt when the handle bars are turned, just like a car or bicycle. The back wheels turn the back of the Asphalt when the deck and the handlebars are leaned (banked) from side to side, like a skateboard. By using different combinations of leaning and steering you will quickly be carving and sliding all kinds of turns.
Stopping Techniques
Controlling speed and stopping are basic riding skills that must be learned. You must learn to foot brake and slide turns in order to slow down and stop. Effective braking requires practiced technique, well fitting skate shoes, smooth clean pavement, and room to turn that is free of obstacles, pedestrians, and cars or other traffic. It is very dangerous to ride faster than your ability to turn, slow down and stop. Please exercise good judgment, ride within your skill level, and remain safe.

I am 16 and I tried this out at the park a few days ago. This thing is so fun to ride! It can lean side to side, and the front turns, all indenepently so you can choose how much to bank in a turn. I don't understand why this is being sold at Toys 'R' Us, considering it's something that would appeal more to adults. You can get into the high 30s if you found a big enough hill.
The wheels are the only problem, whether to cut production costs or save kids lives by reducing speed, it does hamper it's abilities to carve since they are made of plastic.
If you really plan to buy this, and want it to go as smooth and fast as possible, find a shop that sells Longboarding Wheels (prefferably Sector 9) that are 70mm or above, stick them on this thing and it will be a much smoother, faster, and grippier ride.
I suggest no one under 12 ride this down any big hills. I seriously think they would kill themselves unless supervised by someone who could stop them.

By Willard Romantini "Soundless in Milwaukee" (Milwaukee, Wi)
I stumbled upon this scooter while shopping for a Razor Kick scooter, and decided to give it try. It took my dad and I about 20 minutes to put together, and then I was up and scooting. Since I had experience riding more traditional scooters, it only took me 5 minutes to get used to it.
My 14-year-old brother hadn't ridden scooters before and it took him a little longer to get the hang of it, but he loves it too.
We have been riding it as much as possible since we got it, and today my dog took me for a ride down the street. So far, I have only fallen off once and I always wear a helmet. In my opinion, this scooter is much more fun than a traditional kick, and is never going to get boring.

My son got this for his 8th birthday and is having a blast! It is very easy to put together (took me less than 10 minutes). It is like a combination of skateboard, scooter, mountain board, etc. He has been on it every day since he got it. Its also good exercise and can really pick up speed. Definitely a good buy.
