Building on the point of skating in the right environments, it is important to be aware of your surroundings as you skate. This is especially true in skate parks, on the street, and on the road.

You need to be aware in skateparks because there are other skateboards, scooter and bike riders around. If you are not careful, you can crash into them and get unnecessarily injured.

It is one of the skate park safety rules to be aware of others in the park. The same can be said for skating on the road or on a busy sidewalk. You have to be considerate and cautious of others. In fact, they may not always hear or see you coming, so being overly cautious will work in your favor and keep you safe.

For kids, you need to make sure they have proper skate etiquette and watch out for others when skating unsupervised. But seeing as you can’t always be there, make sure they have the right protective gear for their size, like helmets for smaller kids.
