Additional safety equipment is always a good investment. Such items include a mouth guard, a jersey with padded elbows, and forearm guards as well as a kidney belt, knee pads, elbow pads, and pants with knee and shin guards. This extra equipment is especially important when racing dirt bikes. The additional money spent on safety equipment can be well worth it in a crash. Safety equipment is only one aspect of dirt bike safety. It will help protect you if you crash, but practicing certain strategies can improve your chances of avoiding a crash in the first place. It is beneficial to exercise regularly to improve your stamina, strengthen your muscles, and decrease your reaction time. It is imperative to never ride alone, and get off your bike when in trouble. You should carry water with you to prevent dehydration. Be sure to stop, wait, or help when you see someone in trouble, and slow down around people or animals. Following these common sense guidelines can help you avoid an accident and injury on your dirt bike. You should also consider taking a formal dirt bike riding class that will teach you safety maneuvers and give you a chance to practice new techniques. To find a dirt bike riding class in your area, visit the Dirt Bike School. This school, sponsored by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, offers hands-on training sessions for beginning dirt bikers at locations across the USA.
