Skatepark Etiquette

Also known as: park etiquette, skatepark rules

The unwritten rules of coexistence and respect inside a skatepark.

Extended definition

Skatepark etiquette is the code nobody explains to you but everybody expects you to follow: respect the turns, don't snake, don't just stand in the middle of a line, look before you drop in, and look out for the little kids. Not knowing it is the fastest way to get bad looks as a newcomer; respecting it is what gets you into the scene. More important than your skill level.
