1: Take a certification course. It's not just about teaching you how to stay upright on the track. It's also about keeping you safe so you know what to expect and what's expected of you.
2: Audio signals are common on the track, like "STICK!", "STAY!", "RAILS!", or "BOARDS!". Headphones are prohibited because you wouldn't be able to hear such commands.
The two rules above can be summed up as: It's not just about you out there.
