If you want to get your child (son or daughter) started in youth motocross here are the guru’s suggestions(rules).
-
I must be positive at all times with how I think, speak and and act when at the track.
-
This is a fun activity, kids will respond better, learn more when the are having fun. It’s their opinion that counts.
-
If possible, I recommend that you ride together with your kid. Riding is a great family activity, my son and I treasure the times we spent riding.
-
Look for and race with organization that give participant rewards.
- Encourage your child to find and make friends that ride. Peer pressure is a great aid to learning.
- Find a teacher that your child can relate to. An older rider with a ability to communicate at your child level is what you are looking for
- Check and make sure what your health insurance covers. Most have exclusion for motorized competition. AMA offers a supplemental insurance .
-
Big Safety thing here. Find a track with separate your track or practice times for big bikes and youth.
