We feel that safety is a serious matter. Driving with some common sense is a must. If you are attempting something that you aren't comfortable with, ask for a spotter, they can see things that you just can't see and they may save you from damaging your ride. Everyone feels some peer pressure at times but don't let it get the best of you. We do challenge each other on the trails and such, just be sure not to over do it.
We all get stuck sooner or later. If you never get stuck you aren't trying hard enough. Everyone knows that getting stuck is part of the fun! There will always be someone to get you out.
We also look at how a vehicle is lifted. All lifts must be done with safety in mind, if it is weak, or may hurt someone leave it at home. Our unregistered vehicles will also be relatively safe. For example, street vehicles can't have front lift blocks, but our unregistered rides can have as much as 4 inches in front.
There is a lot more to safety than is written here, the rest is up to you. Our club rides have hazards, some more so than others. We have a NO DRINKING before ANY trail ride rule, as all it takes is one person to ruin it for everyone, and the last thing we want is that. If you are caught Drinking on any CLUB TRAIL RIDE, you will be asked to leave immediately, and if you are drunk you will hand over your keys to your passenger or a friend and you will be suspended for 2 rides, and if it happens a second time you will not be allowed to drive on ANY CLUB TRAIL RIDES at all for 6 months, and a third time equals no driving on any rides at all. However, you can attend social club events where no actual riding is happening. If trail rides do take place anyone who has consumed alcohol will not be allowed to drive. These penalties apply to any and all other mind altering drugs!! |
