Terrain Park Tips
- Always wear a helmet. Although only mandatory in the XL highest level park and good well-fitting helmet could save you from a serious head injury.
- Take the first run of the day easy and check all take offs and landings as features can change from day to day.
- Look up hill before dropping to make sure there is only one person hitting each feature at any one time. Shout out, lift your arm or call dropping in to let people know you are going next.
- Ride out and clear any landings as quickly as possible to avoid being landed on by the next rider.
- Start with smaller achievable jumps and features and progress to hard ones once you are ready.
