Plan your visit to a skatepark or pump track

An OsmoRamp listing reproduces what a public database declares about a facility. OsmoRamp does not check opening hours, the rules of the site or its condition on the day. This is a general checklist: it is OsmoRamp advice, not information about a specific site.

Before you go

  • Open the listing and note the “Not stated” entries: those are the points to confirm yourself.
  • Contact the municipality or the operator for opening hours, access conditions and the rules of the site: the directory does not check them. A free-text remark in the source may mention some, but OsmoRamp cannot confirm it and then does not display it.
  • Use the listing’s directions link, which targets the exact position declared for the facility. That position may differ from the entrance or the car park: keep an eye on the signs when you arrive.
  • Check the weather. After rain a surface can be slippery and take longer to dry than you would expect.

On site

  • Walk around before you ride: condition of the ground, debris, damaged elements, any notice boards.
  • Share the space: watch the flow of other users, wait your turn, call out when you drop in.
  • Wear protection suited to your activity: this is general advice. A site or a regulation may make it compulsory; their rules take precedence over this guide.
  • Build up gradually on a feature or a circuit you do not know.

With children

The “user types” shown on a listing are the ones ticked by the person who filled in the database: they are neither an age recommendation nor an assessment of the level required. Accompany younger children and choose a quiet time with them.

Afterwards

A damaged or dangerous facility should be reported to the municipality or the operator. Wrong information in a listing is corrected at the source, as the OsmoRamp method page explains.
