Default Safety training and kids quads

Ok guys and gals, thanks to my new membership in Honda's Red rider club for ATV's, I did some checking into safety training. They are affiliated with several organizations, but I hit pay dirt on one site. Check out www.ATVSAFETY.ORG and hit the link to the info sheets. On that page, you will find several training related guides with titles like ATV riding tips, State Requirements at a glance, Rider training at a glance, Proper riding gear and industry a glance. All subjects worth reading if you are interested in training of the young, and not so young among us.

After bitching for weeks on this thread, I decided to educate myself first and take action to educate others instead of complaining about it. If anyone else comes across any other sources, let me know. I am looking at trying to get certified and put my money where my mouth is.

Default Safety training and kids quads

i have been riding for 29 years. i don't know when riding became a privilage instead of a right. but i don't agree with the age requirement. parents should be in charge and responsible for there children not the government. i started teaching my boy how to ride at the age of3.5 on a jr50 and soon moved to a kx60 at 5 years old. after to many trips over the handle bars and neck injuries i bought him a 200 blaster and for the past 2 years and not 1 accident or injuries i won't put him on a bike to trail ride. i'am also training a 5 and 8 year old on some 90 quads and they do very well as long as i limit the throttle. my oldest is now 10 and he looks pretty stupid on the little 90. he's 5foot4 and does not fit on a 90cc machine.we ride on orv trails and will continue to do so. so i guess i'll just pay the tickets if they catch us. i'm not going to let anyone ruin my fun and my kids fun.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Default Safety training and kids quads

im 15 and i ride a banshee no problem and it is bored and cranked to almost 400cc's, and i know that there is no way i could properly fit on a 90cc quad which i probably weigh more then. i started out on a 250 fourtrax when i was 12 then i felt that i had outgrown that and i have had my banshee for more then a year with only a few minor accidents but i personally feel that this quad suits me the best.
