Question about bikes at skate parks
Peace,
My son wants to practice on ramps with his bike, but we only have skate parks near us. I know there's a general concern for safety and a history of lack of etiquette from bikers. I also have heard of risk of damage to ramps. He doesn't do tricks necessarily, just enjoys using the ramps. If it's crowded, I don't allow him to go in. What do I teach him about skate parks etiquette so that he doesn't get in anyone's way and everyone can stay safe?
Thanks
Update: Hey all! Thank you for your tips and input. It was helpful and put me at ease. We decided to take the bus to a bigger park, so I had him put on roller blades instead as it's easier to transport with. We found everyone there! It seemed pretty harmonious and it wasn't too crowded. Of course, that changed when about 20 BMXers showed up when the sun was setting. It almost seemed like there was an unwritten rule that boarders go earlier and bikers come at sunset. Regardless, it was fun and he has a lot of work to do. 💪🏼🫶🏻✌🏻
