You're feeling inspired and want to learn to park skate, but you've got no idea where to start!

We hear too many stories about new skaters who head to the skatepark and dive right in without any preparation... bail, and spook themselves right back out of the skatepark. We understand that would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth and can often lead to local derby leagues banning skaters from participating in park skating.

This bums us out big time so we’ve compiled some helpful advice for park noobs to help ensure you have a positive skatepark experience and build a strong lasting relationship with the sport. If you have any fun tidbits for new skaters post them up in the comments and we'll get them added in.

 

It’s good to know the rules and etiquette before you show up. So, before you go tear it up, here are some basic guidelines to help you ease into the flow of the skating world. Please note, this list is not definitive. We just want to list out some basic guidelines so that you, and all the skaters around you, can have a wicked experience. Keep these points in mind and you’re solid, but above all else, stay safe and have a good time.

Please note we do our best to pay homage to the history of this sport so we derive our terminology based on this president.

This blog contains information about all parts that make up a quad roller skate, as well as breaking down the add-on hardware that will take your skatepark experience to the next level.
