1. Do check out the track before you pin it off a jump that has changed.
2. Don’t tell everyone you blew up your bike before first checking your gas.
3. Do wash your gear after every ride, or at least your socks.
4. Don’t brag about how fast you are, because you never know who is listening.
5. Do call the track to make sure they are open before you show up and no one is there (or   check the website/answerphone message - especially during the winter).
6. Don’t say you do whips when only your butt does.
7. Do check your bolts before something falls off.
8. Don’t be that guy that didn't bring gas, food, or water to the track.
9. Do warm up before you ride so you don’t pull a hammy. 
10. Don’t let your goggle strap hang around your neck.
BONUS! Don't shine a laser pointer in a rider's eyes!

The guy in photo above doesn't need to worry about abiding by rule #2. His bike is shot.
