Track Rules & Regulations

Accessing the Track:

You must obtain a wristband from our staff and only ride at your designated time. Enter the track in a safe manner only via the track entrance, one bike at a time; always obey signals from staff. The flagger may check your wristband before entry.

Exiting the track:

Only leave the track at the exit point in a safe manner.

Stopping on the circuit:

Only stop in case of mechanical breakdown or you are instructed to do so (because of signal from staff). If you are forced to stop on the circuit or run-off area, park as safely as possible, far from the track and, if possible, behind a barrier.

If you are injured, stay with your bike and wait for help. Try to move to a safe position where you can be seen. Try to make yourself safe and comfortable. If you see a rider who is in distress, stop safely and report it to a marshal.

 

Flag Signal Meanings:

Yellow: Great danger, prepare to stop. Ride with extreme caution. Do not overtake.

Red: All riders must stop. Come to a complete (and safe) stop and await instructions. Do not pass a red flag or light unless instructed to do so. If you are asked to move, do so slowly and cautiously. A red flag usually signals the end of the session.

A red flag may also be accompanied by a siren. If you hear the siren, you must assume that a red flag is in operation and act accordingly.

Chequered: finish, end of session. All riders must exit the track safely and return to the paddock.

Clothing and PPE:

All riders must wear as a minimum:

• Goggles (not sunglasses)
• Helmet
• Boots
• Gloves
• Durable clothing that covers arms and legs

Your clothing and equipment must be in good condition and free from any defects. We prescribe the minimum that you must wear, but it is your responsibility to ensure that generally you are wearing clothing and equipment that is safe and appropriate for the physically demanding sport you are about to undertake. We recommend you always inspect your clothing and equipment before each use. We do not inspect your clothing and equipment for you.

Conduct on track:

Please note: we are a practice track, not a race track. We want you to have a fun and rewarding experience, but safety is our number one priority: it must be yours too.

Motocross can be dangerous. Always ride to your own ability and be aware that other riders may have different levels of ability to you. Do not take unnecessary risks. You can still race and enjoy motocross while being courteous to other riders.

Pass other riders only when it is safe to do so. Remember: you are practicing, not racing.

Do not engage in any activity on the track which is dangerous, reckless, aggressive or which puts you or others at risk of harm.

Obey the instructions of the staff at all times.

Be aware of hazards such as holes, fences, wire, rocks, ruts, mud, slippery and dry conditions. Ride in a manner that is appropriate to the conditions. Stay on the track at all times, and do not attempt to take shortcuts.

If you identify a hazard on the track, please exit the track safely and report it to staff.

Obey all arrows and other track signage.

Slow down for potential danger.

Never ride or push your bike backwards against the flow of other riders.

Your bike is your responsibility. Your bike must be in sound mechanical condition for use on our track. You must inspect your bike before you ride for any defects. Do not ride, or continue to ride, if you suspect that your bike has any defect or damage.
