New Rider Info

Before going on any track make sure to read signage and check track direction. If you’re new to a riding area don’t be afraid to ask any of the locals riding questions on the tracks, whether that be direction, skills level type of the tracks, bike size allowance for track, types of track features that may not be seen from the spectator area etc.

– When entering a track make sure to do it from a safe open area where you can see if there are any other riders coming up.

– When clear enter the track. If this is your first lap on the track for the day, make sure to do a slow lap (even try standing the full lap so it slows you down) to check out the layout of the track, if anything has been changed, or if there’s anything to look out for like deep mud from the rain the day before, ruts that have developed over the day, jump faces that have worn away or been lipped up etc. If you’re nervous to go on an unknown track ask another rider if you could follow them for a lap, or they could follow you – take it slow and find your lines.

– While riding the tracks make sure to stay in your line, especially if there are other riders on the track. Staying in your line means don’t do any fast lane changes where you come from one side of the track to the other. What this causes is someone behind you may be coming up to pass and is anticipating you to stay where you are. Do not try and get out of the rider’s way that are coming up behind you – if they are faster they will find a time and spot to pass.

– Keep looking ahead, don’t look behind you. If you are looking behind you and turning your head this will make you start weaving around the track. Also, things come up quick while on the track so you wouldn’t want to hit something or someone.

– Passing – this goes for all levels of riders. Be respectful, give them space. This isn’t a race.

– If someone falls or you have fallen on the track – if you’re okay try and get your bike and yourself out of the way as fast as possible, or make yourself visible to riders that are coming up the track. If you need help, wave someone down, they will stop to help. Most importantly get yourself off to the side. If youcome up on a crash, stop for the rider in a spot that is visible for other riders on the track.

– Make sure to never stop on the track. If you’d like to stop, make sure to pull off the main riding area and move onto the water truck roads or brush.

– When exiting a track try and plan the exit a couple corners ahead. For example, if the exit of the track is on the right, you want to make sure you’re already on the right side of the track while coming up to the exit – so you’re not cutting anyone off doing a fast lap while you’re exiting. Make sure to slow down earlier then the exit, don’t slam on the breaks right at the exit. A rider could be behind you and not be prepared to slow down suddenly. A safe way to exit the track is slow down and before you get to the exit lift your left hand up to be visible for those riders behind you, or riders trying to enter.

DO NOT MOVE A DOWNED RIDER! If an ambulance is needed, call 911 (tell 911 the accident is at Wild Rose MX Park located at the north end Burbank Rd SE). Send a rider to meet the ambulance at the entrance and guide them to the downed rider. The track the rider is on, is closed until the ambulance leaves the track area!
