Tips for Skating Safely
Skateboarding like most other physical activities is inherently dangerous. The VSA recommends the following to help reduce the risks to you and others.
There are over 150 skate parks within Victoria and the VSA recognises these places as your domain. To become the king of your domain these simple steps apply:
Wear the relevant personal protective clothing and equipment
Helmets are a really good idea for beginners, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads are also highly recommended.
Follow the traffic flow
At skate parks, skaters will tend to go in a direction towards an obstacle. When things are getting hectic its important to be aware of what others are skating and the path (lines) they are taking. Simple tips such as a wave or eye contact can help with knowing when to wait or go.
Help each other out
If you see someone trying to land a trick over and over again – help them out if you know what they need to change – for example if their foot positioning is wrong.
Say sorry
If you collide with someone, simply say ‘sorry’. It’s easy to do and people will respect you more.
Respect the park
You should be proud of your local park, so do your bit to make sure it looks good. Put your rubbish in the bins and encourage others to do so. Things such as a quick sweep or saying ‘hello’ to a stranger make it a better environment for everyone.
The VSA strongly recommends you take your time when practising new tricks, always session with friends and getting some lessons from the pros.
