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.
