If you Google "How to ride a hoverboard," one of the first links you'll find is to BestElectricHoverboard.com, where the advice for riding one correctly runs about 4 pages long. It seems like you really need to know what you're doing in order to be a successful hoverboarder. But who has time on Christmas morning to follow instructions?

Now, to move, the best way I can describe it is, just "think" of where you want to go.

As you probably already know, on a hoverboard segway, you lean in the direction you want to go. This may make you think you have to do more than you actually do to move.

It's not as much leaning as it is slightly shifting your weight. If you lean too much, you WILL fall.

Dads, we're talking to you.
