"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. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. You will need to pull your legs forward and kick them further faster you travel. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are different ways 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.
