Dirt Bike Safety

Dress to Crash

As pessimistic as it sounds, the safest thing is to plan like you know you’re going to crash. That means wearing safety gear on all rides, including a crash-test certified helmet, safety glasses or goggles, gloves, boots, and padded, full-length clothing. It also means ensuring that you have a first-aid kit at the car or on your person, and that it’s stocked with antiseptics, bandages, painkillers, and anything else you think you’ll need.

Minimize Risk

There’s no way to ride your dirt bike that isn’t thrilling, even if you’re riding cautiously, so it’s best to minimize risks where and when you can. Avoid riding in bad weather and low light, and avoid riding the dirt bike on paved roads. Try to stay near at least one riding buddy so they can help you if you crash and vice-versa—and so you can share the adventure with a friend or loved one!

We hope these tips help you stay safe on your next dirt bike expedition. For more information, or if you’re on the hunt for your next dirt bike, contact us at Fun Products Goldsboro. We proudly serve the people of Greenville, Wilson, and Raleigh, North Carolina—let us serve you today!
