Read the site
Rules differ between parks.
- Check direction, opening times, age guidance and required protection.
- Walk the perimeter rather than crossing active lines.
- Identify entry, exit and waiting zones before starting.
Progress features
Begin with complete rollable laps.
- Build pumping and cornering before attempting jumps.
- Inspect take-offs and landings without blocking them.
- Allow adequate space and wait until the previous rider has cleared.
Share well
Small spaces amplify poor etiquette.
- Take turns, supervise children and avoid stopping mid-line.
- Do not reshape features or ride during closures.
- Leave when fatigue causes missed pedals, poor braking or inconsistent lines.
