Tips & Warnings

  • Cross a downtown area with some of your in-line skating friends. Skate fast and try to keep doing tricks the whole time.

  • Skate downtown late at night, when cars and traffic are at a minimum, so you'll have maximum usage of the city's resources.

  • Steer clear of "no skating" signs, angry shop owners, pedestrians and policemen.

  • Be very careful of traffic when street skating. Car drivers aren't looking for you to come bursting around a corner or out into the street. Cars are the biggest danger to street skaters.

  • Always wear a helmet, knee pads and wirst guards when street skating on in-line skates. Because your feet have wheels on them, they're little help when you lose your balance, so you end up on the ground often enough.

  • In-line skating is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.
