- Different requirements of the user groups:
Inline skaters and BMX bikers require higher and larger elements as they are generally more stable and in permanent contact with their skates or bikes. They reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
Skateboarders on the other hand prefer flatter and lower equipment, as they do not have permanent contact with the board. They reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour.
- Have the skills and the relationship between the different user groups been taken into account?
- Is the hard surface that is available large enough?
- Can the surface be skated on? Is it flat and does it have a gradient of approx. 2% so that rainwater can drain off?
- Can all skate equipment be placed on the surface in accordance with PAS35?
- Does the layout flow and easily skatable?
- Has a minimum distance of 3 m being maintained between the equipment?
Rule of thumb: distance from a quarterpipe to the next piece of equipment: 3-6 m
- Has the required distance to the nearest residential housing been maintained?
- Do special protection measures need to be taken?
- Are benches and waste paper baskets required?
- Should other leisure activities for young people be included in the plans?
