（单词翻译:单击）

Before you Go Out 　出行前的准备：

　● Check the weather. Skating in rain, snow, or ice is dangerous; dress appropriately for the temperature. You will sweat even on the coldest days so layered athletic¹ wear is best.

　● If you are skating with others, know the expectations and make sure you have the ability required. Have a backup plan in case you need to leave the group (e.g., money for Metro² or a taxi.) Bring a map, or know where you are going.

　● Have the appropriate gear³:

　　＊　Make sure that your skates are in good shape and fit properly. Bring wrenches⁴, an extra axel and axel screw⁵, and parts for your brake.

　　＊　Wrists and lower arms are the #1 broken or injured area--wear wrist guards.

　　＊　Knee and elbow pads⁶ are highly⁷ recommended. Make sure they are the right size and comfortably fit.

　　＊　You only have one head--a helmet may save your life.

　　＊　Water--bring water, and drink it. This is especially important on hot days.

　　＊　First Aid supplies--Band Aids, moleskin, etc.

　　＊　If you are skating at night, bright clothes and flashing lights are great so others can see you.

　　＊　Bring sandals if you are going to do any non-skating activities before or after the skate. Also you will need them if you decide to take the Metro home.

　　＊　Cell phone and palm pilot. Just kidding! You really can survive without them, plus if you fall you might break them.
