"Hi my name's Ryder Mackey and I'm here today with Expert Village, to talk to you about some of the main, basic skatepark rules that just about any skatepark is going to have. Most every skateboarder in your local town, um, is going to have a helmet rule, and most skateparks also have kneepad and elbowpad rules. You have to have them, in the skatepark as you're riding; you have to have your helmet also buckled up; and there's normally no food or drinks allowed in the skateboard area.
