"Riding Down Hills": To ride downhill you have to first learn how stop yourself from falling. To do this, push your legs against the ground while simultaneously pulling your back leg up. Next, kick your front leg forward. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. The faster you go, the more you will have to lift your legs and kick them forward. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
Once you have learned how you can stop yourself from hitting the ground, you need to find out how fast. There are different ways to measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you are comfortable with slowing down or speeding up, it is time to learn how turn. To turn, simply lean towards the side that you want to move towards. If you lean too far, you'll crash into the ground. If you don't lean enough, you will not be able turn. You can learn tricks once you are able to turn properly.
