Wet conditions and sure footing

Outdoors, wetness changes above all one thing: your grip. The Speeder itself is waterproof and flies on, but the ground gets slippery — and so safety moves to the fore. In wet conditions: controlled movement before maximum pace.

The most important point is sure footing. On wet grass, damp surface, or slick ground, braking and changing direction is harder; a start that's too hasty can lead to slipping. So you deliberately pull the pace back a little, take shorter, controlled steps, and avoid jerky changes of direction where the foot could slide away.

Suitable footwear with a good tread helps you keep your grip. And you check the ground before the match: where is it especially slick, where does water collect? You deliberately play around these spots.

This is about staying unhurt, not about performance. When the ground gets too slippery, it's smarter to interrupt the game than to risk an injury. For anything that goes beyond careful play — pain after a slip, for instance — qualified advice is the right address, not playing on.

On wet ground you move as on a freshly mopped hallway — with short, sure steps, not at full run. Whoever takes this to heart stays in the game and in one piece.

Think of playing on wet ground: do you pay attention to your footing, or do you play on at full pace as if the ground were dry? Resolve, in the wet, to take shorter, controlled steps, to avoid jerky changes of direction, and to check the ground for slick spots beforehand. And be clear: if it gets too slippery, interrupting is smarter than a fall — with pain after a slip, the assessment belongs in expert hands.
