Hey TrikkeGuy... coming toward the camera the parking lot is sloped up - which makes it look like we're overworking it. The truth is the first few times we went out to this parking lot, we couldn't even make it up that sloped pavement!

**Trikke ROCKS!**

Folks, if you don't have a Trikke, you simply cannot know how little of a slope it takes to stop a newbie.  The Trikke is often called "The Invisible Slope Detector." What the eye cannot see, it sees. Here we have a vast parking lot -- as flat as year old road-kill on a busy highway -- but nope, the Killer Slope awaits.

Newbies learn on slopes, inclines and mainly flat surfaces to get the basic techniques of Trikke riding down. New Trikke riders would give up if they didn't have relatively flat and gently sloped areas to learn to Trikke on. Killer slopes are for experienced Trikke riders and one day, we'll get there!

For those who don't know, a typical driveway is "a killer slope." Hee hee. Actually carving "sideways" instead of "up and down" on slopes is very good practice, because it trains the rider to alternate two different kinds of carving -- one carve is a deep-knee bender, the other is a "token carve" that merely sets up the next knee bender. This gives the rider the practice that "daily life" carving sometimes require - we often have to suddenly switch to a shallow carve to navigate obstacles.

Gildo always said that hills and slopes are the real trikking-carving test. Doing slopes fine tunes one's carving-timing -- hones it such that momentum is not lost. On the flats a lot of timing errors are "forgivable" because you can just coast a bit longer and initiate a carve "when you're good and ready," but on the slopes you have to be there on time or the slope'll stop you like you hit a tree.

These folks are showing just how little effort it takes to get the beast to go 5 mph. A year from how, these riders will be able to maintain the smoothness you see here at all levels of exertion. As they practice doing "very fast," the easy big carves must be honed down into very tight carves that still get all the free energy boost from the gravity drop, but they have the basic carver skills nicely in hand. Let's see some video of you guys doing some slopes.
