Norms:
1. Safety First: Obey the rules of the road, watch out for cars and your fellow skaters. Try to warn others of cars, obstructions or other potential hazards. Stay hydrated.
2. One Mic: when the leader of the skate is making an announcement, please refrain from side conversations.
3. Be mindful: Remember, we’re all here to skate and have a good time. Be mindful of the feelings of others and speak up if you have a concern.
