Steps For Safe And
Responsible OHM Riding
Once you determine that OHM use is proper
for your youngster, it is time to prepare yourself as
a good OHM teacher and supervisor.
STEP ONE: Educate Yourself about OHM
Safety and Proper Riding Techniques
You must learn as much as possible about off-
highway motorcycles in general, and especially your
youngster's motorcycle. You must be qualified to
instruct and supervise your youngster. This means
that you will need to understand the features of
the motorcycle and proper riding techniques. The
best source of information is the owner's manual
supplied with the motorcycle. Read the owner's
manual before you begin to instruct your youngster
about OHM safety. Pay particular attention to the
warning labels and stickers on the motorcycle.

STEP TWO: Teach Your Youngster Safe and
Proper Riding Techniques
Teaching your youngster off-highway motorcy-
cling is a step-by-step process. It begins with safety
rules and moves to actual riding techniques. Since
youngsters learn at different rates, it will be up to
you to set the pace of your youngster's progress. At
some point you may decide that he or she is not
ready to ride an OHM.
STEP THREE: Avoid Unsafe Situations
Through Close Supervision
ALWAYS closely supervise your youngster's
riding. This is true even if your youngster has learned
and mastered the rules and skills of safe OHM
riding. Youngsters can get tired easily and become
careless. They do not always see everything that is
important around them. Your close supervision and
good judgment are important.
