Rules:  The MN State Fair is a great opportunity to skate a venue that only a handful of the top MN Skateboarders normally get to ride.  3^rdLair has been doing demos at the fair for 18 years and we rely on your co-operation to ensure we are able to continue to offer this opportunity to future riders.  The following are a list of rules you must follow if you choose to participate in the 2018 Summer Series Championships:

• Helmets are required for all riders always. Please bring your own – we will not have rentals available. 
• Waivers are required for all riders –This must be signed in front of a 3^rdLair Staff member by you and/or your legal guardian (if you are under age 18) – No Exceptions.
• Mrod will let you know when you can ride the course – if he has not specifically said you can skate, do not skate.
• Never ride your board anywhere on the fair grounds except within the fencing of the SkatePark.
• Professionalism is mandatory – we will not tolerate a bad attitude including swearing, throwing skateboards, or any other disrespectful behavior while on the fairgrounds.
• Be on time – we have a tight timeline that these events need to be completed within.
• On practice days, you are only allowed to practice during the specified practice time
• Skate within your own ability – There are always un-avoidable risks associated with skateboarding. We ask that you be smart and skate within your ability to maximize your own safety and the safety of others.
• Have Fun – remember why we all skate in the first place. This is some of the most fun stuff we get to do so soak it in and have a blast.
