PARK ETIQUETTE

• Remember that you were once a first timer.

• Treat others the way that you want to be treated.

• Learn the traffic flow of the park.

• Know you ability level and stay within it.

• Have fun but remember, ramps are not slides.

• Be aware of your surroundings. When it is not your turn, stay out of the way of those skating.

• IF you collide with someone, make sure they are ok, if they seem even remotely hurt, find an RTD staff member or volunteer and let them know what happened.

• DON’T put anything (board, wheels, foot etc) on the coping while someone else is doing a run.

• IF you fall, move out of the way quickly rather than laying/standing there.

• NO whining or crying unless you have a really good reason.

• DON’T throw anything: board, bike, scooter, or helmet etc.

• KEEP beverages out of the park, a spill can make a huge slippery mess.

• DON’T BE A SNAKE, when someone is doing a line, dont drop in on them, wait your turn.

• DON’T TAKE MARATHON RUNS - you might think it’s cool to ride for a longtime straight, but do it all the time and people will get mad.  A couple times a session is acceptable.

• DON’T USE THE FLATBOTTOM of ramps or the middle of a ramp area (other than the plaza) to practice flatland/flatground tricks.

• COMMUNICATE! Whether verbally or a head nod, gesture etc, let people know what you plan to do.

• CALL your drop-in, especially on busy days.

• BE FAIR and make sure everybody gets a shot.

• LEDGES are not for sitting.

• APOLOGIZE if you do something wrong, seriously.

• WARN people if you lose your board etc, or if you see somebody lose theirs.

• WIPE your feet at the door, try to keep the dirt and dust outside.

• IF you are going to attempt a banger of a trick, get a spotter to keep your takeoff/landing area clear.

• IF you are filming/shooting, be aware that other people in the park paid to skate.

• DON’T BE A ONE-UPPER, if you don’t understand this, have somebody explain it to you.

• DON’T steal.
