"Riding Down Hills" - To ride downhill, you must first learn how to stop yourself from falling. Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. Keep going at this speed until you get to the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach the speed desired, you can let your legs relax. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
Once you've learned how to prevent yourself from colliding with the ground you will need to figure out how fast. There are many methods to measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
