SKATE SMART

  • Always wear protective gear - helmet, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads

  • Watch for road hazards
  • Avoid water, oil, and sand
  • Avoid heavy traffic

SKATE POLITE

  • Skate on the right and pass on the left - announce your intentions by saying "passing on your left"
  • Always yield to pedestrians
  • Be a good-will ambassador for the sport
