Things you shouldn't do on skates

Don't harrass people while skating by skating into them, or even just missing them.

Don't skate in areas where there's lots of people walking or biking. This is bound to result in accidents, and guess who's gonna be blamed.

Be especially careful of children, as they're far less predictable than grown-ups, and their parents would be very upset if you skated them over.

Don't tease officials, like policemen.

Also, be careful with elderly people, as they get scared more quickly than younger people, most of the time.

Don't go in public areas unless you're fairly confident on your skates. If something unexpected happens, you have to know how to save the day, so practice in a quiet place.

All these things will give skaters a bad name, and will cause more and more places to be off-limits to skaters. In the end, it will only harm you yourself. So use a bit of common sense, and be careful. ___________________________________________________________________
