Things to Remember
It may be your first time on Skates or a Skateboard, so here are some handy tips / things to remember to bring to your first session
​
-
Safety Gear - Good equipment is really important, and the most important piece of equipment is a helmet! It is often best to bring your own helmet to these sessions that you have already had fitted appropriately. Other safety gear may include knee and elbow pads.
-
You can find this safety equipment at many local skate shops, sport or department stores. ​​​
-
​
-
Hat / Sun Protection - We all know that being outside and having a skate is always fun, but making sure you don't get sunburnt is even more fun! Pack a hat and make sure you are wearing sunscreen before every session. ​
​
​
-
Water Bottle - Skating can work up a sweat! Bring a water bottle to make sure you stay hydrated throughout the day!
