What are those discs they are holding in their palms? Looks like it is attached to their gloves, maybe to use as a way to slow down by using them as brakes on the ground? Some are black and some were colored white.
You got it! Those discs are attached to the gloves. They serve as brakes. If you're going much slower, you can use your shoe soles but that requires balancing one leg on the board and the other dragging the pavement. Not bad at reasonable speeds, but at very high speeds you have to have BOTH feet on that board so you can correct any potential disastrous wobble from developing.
