• Our Commitment:
    First aid trained staff are always on-site. Children under 6 years old must have a parent or guardian present for group sessions and provide support to the rider if needed. To minimize the risks, it is important to follow instructions from the coach and adhere to general safety rules.

    Rules:

    1. Protective Gear: Helmets, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads are mandatory.

    2. Respect Others: Be mindful of others and move safely around the space. No pushing or cutting in line.

    3. Listen to Coaches: Follow all instructions from our coaches at all times.

    4. Trick Progression: Do not try any trick unless the coach has asked you to and confirmed you are ready to do so

    5. No Wet Floor Riding: Riding on wet surfaces is strictly prohibited. It’s not safe for riders and damages equipment. No exceptions.

    6. Equipment Care: Gear must be handled with care, even if it’s yours and especially if you are borrowing from us.

    7. Report Issues: Immediately report any problems with the gear or any concerns about other participants to the coach.

    Important:
    Due to the nature of the sport, riders who do not follow these rules will be asked to leave. No refund will be provided in these cases.
