  5. Skate park Etiquette and unwritten rules?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I dont really ride skateparks often enough to be a model etiquette follower but if I cut somebody up I make sure I apologise straight away even if I am not 100% in the wrong. I find that loosing my temper with the scooter kids etc just puts me in a bad mood for my ride and when that happens I may as well load the car back up and go home.

    That being said if a kid is being un courteous and then loud mouthed about a near miss or collision I tend to find a look or a "you need to be careful else you are going to cause s crash" seems to do the trick. If you show that you are wound up for some kids that then engages them in a gamevof wind that bloke up.

    Thats my experiences anyway both indoor outdoor on my bmx but by no means are they the right answer.

    Would anybody have the skills / equipment to make some echo tr axle top hat spacers?

    I have some but they are a little worse for wear and tarty dont seem to stock any replacements

    Or if anybody has a dead hub e.g stripped freewheel threads etc that they could sell/donate i would be overjoyed

    Thanks
