Developing Safe Riding Habits

To ensure safety during your practice exercises, use the same procedures and safety measures you would use for serious off-road riding.

• Make sure younger operators practice under the direct visual supervision of an adult.
• Do not practice alone. Bring an experienced rider who can help you improve your skills or assist in an emergency.
• Be sure the course is free of obstacles and hazards.
• Maintain a safe speed at all times.
• Don’t use alcohol or drugs.
• Wear proper clothing and safety gear, which must include a DOT–approved crash helmet and approved eye protection.
