FINAL NOTE
TO PARENTS
W
e hope this booklet has helped you
and your youngster take a “safety first”
approach to off-highway motorcycle riding. All off-
highway motorcycle riders must use good judgment
and be responsible. It is up to YOU to set a good
example about motorcycle safety. You must help
your youngster ride sensibly and safely at all times.
After your youngster has mastered the rid-
ing skills in this booklet and has matured to a
higher level of skills, he or she may be ready to
practice more advanced riding. The Motorcycle
Safety Foundation’s Tips & Practice Guide for the
Off-Highway Motorcyclist booklet provides
information about riding on hills, riding
across slopes, and other more advanced skills.
Youngsters should have a good understanding of
riding skills before using unfamiliar areas. They
should ride on flat areas, gentle hills, and gradual
slopes. Be sure that your youngster rides slowly
over unfamiliar terrain to locate and avoid bumps,
holes, and other possible hazards. You should check
the area first.
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation also
recommends a video program, The MSF DirtBike
School: Learn to Ride Safely. It demonstrates and
discusses responsible riding practices.
It is also recommended that you and your
youngster read the information in the owner’s
manual. To find out more about rider education
and off-highway motorcycle safety programs
