5.
Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in
a way that does not frighten or endanger them, and
stay far enough away so that their unexpected moves
don’t endanger you.
6.
You may be riding in sensitive habitat, so stay on the
designated trail. Don’t contribute to erosion by riding in
mud or with unnecessary sliding. Don’t disturb wildlife
or livestock; and don’t disturb the ecosystem by cutting
your own trail through vegetation or streams.
7.
It is your responsibility to minimize your impact on the
environment. Ride accordingly. Leave things as you
found them; and always take out everything you
brought in.
8.
If you crash: First, check yourself for injuries, and
take care of them as best you can.
Next, check your bmx scooter for damage, and fix what you can.
Then, when you get home, carefully perform the maintenance
proceedure described this manual and check for any other
damaged parts. All bent, scored or discolored parts are
suspect and should be replaced.
WARNING:
A crash can put extraordinary stress
on BMX Scooter components, causing them to fatigue
prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue
can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of
control, serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
If you have any doubt about the
condition of the BMX Scooter or any of its parts, take it
to your dealer for a thorough check.
15.
Never ride your BMX Scooter while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
16.
If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when
visibility is obscured, at dusk or in the dark, or
when extremely tired. Each of these conditions
increases the risk of accident.
RULES OF THE TRAIL
1.
We recommend that children not ride off-road
without the accompaniment of an adult. In any
event, never ride alone in remote areas. Even
when riding with others, make sure that someone
knows where you’re going and when you expect to
be back. Always take along some kind of
identification, so that people know who you are in
case of an accident; and take a couple of dollars in
cash for a candy bar, a cool drink or an emergency
phone call.
2.
Surface hazards make off-road riding much more
difficult and therefore more dangerous than riding
on paved roads. Start slowly and build up your skills
on easier terrain before tackling the more difficult.
3.
Learn and obey the local laws regulating where and
how you can ride off-road, and respect private
property. Don’t ride where you are not welcome or
where you are not allowed.
4.
You are sharing the trail with others - hikers,
equestrians, other cyclists. Respect their rights, and
be tolerant if they inconvenience you.
