Remember that you must obey all traffic regulations. Watch for changes in skating trail conditions because of traffic, weather conditions or hazards such as water, potholes or storm debris. When in doubt, slow down. Do not skate on wet or oily surfaces. Before using any trail, achieve a basic skating level, including the ability to turn, control speed, brake on downhills, and recognize and avoid skating obstacles.
Check skates regularly to make sure they are in good condition.
Replace worn wheels and the brake. Make sure the wheels are securely tightened and are not blocked by debris or grass. Skate smart to stay on the go.
