• Wear the right equipment for me, fitting properly.
• Skate in a pack that is appropriate for my speed.
• If the trail is narrow, skate in groups with enough space between them for others (skaters, cyclists, etc.) to be able to pass us.
• Skate in a smaller group if I'm not very experienced.
• Skate alone if I'm uncomfortable skating in a pack.
• Skate on the right side of the trail, passing on the left.
• Avoid braking while in a pack:
  • Unless I really need to, since otherwise I might provoke an accident behind me.
  • If I have a brake, avoid braking suddenly, since most skaters in the club do not have brakes and take longer to slow down or stop.
• Reduce my speed:
  • By putting the back of my hand on the back of the skater in front, at about hip level.
  • Not by using the palm of my hand, since if I lose my balance I might automatically grab the other skater and make him fall.
• If the pack slows down, stay in line instead of veering to left or right; this way,
  • When the skater in front starts skating again, our skates won't clash.
  • We won't make a traffic jam on the trail.
• Warn the pack, either by shouting or using hand/arm signals:
  • About approaching trouble spots: holes, bumps, cracks, branches, debris, etc.
  • Turns to left or right (use arm signals).
  • When approaching others (skaters, cyclists, runner, walkers, etc.) from the opposite direction, or when passing others, so that everyone in the pack will take shorter strokes; this leaves the other lane free.
• At an intersection, if I'm leading the pack, call out when the way is clear and make sure everyone gets across (not just me).
• If the group stops for any reason, move away from the trail to not obstruct it.

• Leave enough room to the side so as not to snag skates with the others.
• Move it, but keep my stroke synchronized with whomever I'm passing to avoid snagging skates, especially when the trail is narrow.
• Make sure there's enough time to get past, e.g. if someone's coming from the opposite direction.

• Get out of the way if I've fallen (and if not too badly hurt) to avoid tripping others.
• If the injured person remains lying on the trail, help out by directing traffic: make other skaters or cyclists slow down and go around.
• Stop and help if I know First Aid.
• Leave space for the injured and those helping.

1. Vigilance

• On the trails and in the streets, at all times, I am vigilant towards others, no matter who they are: skaters, cyclists, runners, pedestrians, drivers, etc.
• I can never be too careful, nor pay too much attention.

2. Courtesy

• At all times, when somebody moves over to let me pass, I am courteous, smiling and saying thanks.
• I never behave aggressively, even when I'm involved in an incident, whether it's my fault or not.

3. Welcoming and helping new recruits (...I remember when the new skater was me!)

• I always go out of my way to make new participants feel welcome.
• It always helps to give constructive advice to those who need it - but never criticism.
• I realize that skaters with good basic technique and some potential will feel motivated to come back, partly thanks to the feeling they get from the rest the club.
