As someone that has been riding for 25 years the best advice I can give is what I was taught; put all your weight on your foot. You will avoid all of the painful falls from mistakenly catching edges.


The old Gnu[0] tagline which was printed on their boards was also a succinct gem:

Stay Low, Be Powerful.

[0] Googling this, maybe it wasn't Gnu itself, advice still stands.


Since we have 2 feet, I'll clarify - weight on front foot. Also bend your knees, most beginners stand up too straight


Thanks for that as I thought I wrote "front foot" but I see that I didn't.
