Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 2: ice skating, roller skating, in-line skating, or skateboarding?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

DESCRIBED TWICE AND DONE ONCE: two ways to get on and off a curb, and a demonstration of at least one of them. A curb is the only piece of built environment this whole option needs.

Note. DESCRIBED TWICE AND DONE ONCE, WHICH IS EASY TO READ AS DONE TWICE. Two ways to get on and off a curb described, and at least ONE of them demonstrated. So the second method only ever has to be explained. A standard curb is the only piece of built environment this entire option needs, and the step is worth doing early rather than last: getting on and off one is what makes the difference between skating on a path and being stuck on it.
