Safety Tips Novices riding less powerful cubic centimeter capacity combustion cylinder (CC) engine bikes should never share tracks with more experienced riders on more powerful bikes.

Children under the age of 12 should ideally be riding 85cc bikes and lower. Very young riders may be best served with 50cc 2-stroke bikes.

Only ride at tracks where experienced flaggers are present.

Tracks should be watered to minimize dust. Impaired vision creates a very dangerous motocross environment.

Familiarize yourself with the track before heading out. Knowing where the obstacles are and ascertaining whether you or your child is capable of handling the course is essential.

Never ride beyond your skill level. Many injuries occur because riders try to progress too quickly or simply don’t want to get left behind and bite off more than they can chew.

The Snell Memorial Foundation is an independent nonprofit that tests and sets safety standards for sports helmets, including helmets designed for auto racing, bicycling, motorcycling, skiing and motocross. The organization is named in honor of Pete “William” Snell, a sports car racer who died as a result of a head injury attributed to racing helmet failure.
