It is important that everyone who rides at Dirt Farm takes note of and complies with the following Health and Safety advice:
- The trails are graded according to their skill level, read the trail gradings carefully before riding and ensure that you select the appropriate trails based on your riding ability. We recommend that you start on the blue trails.
- Ride slowly to start with and get to know the trails and obstacles. Never jump blind.
- The Pro line is designed for professional riders or equivalent level riders, if you cannot ride the trail as it is intended to be ridden then it is vital that you do not attempt it for the safety of yourselves and your fellow riders.
- We strongly advise that anyone under 18 should be accompanied by a competent and responsible adult rider. All under 18’s must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian before riding.
- You must ALWAYS wear a helmet. We strongly advise that you wear a full faced helmet, gloves, eye protection and body armour (including a neck brace).
- It is your responsibility to ensure that your bike is properly maintained and safe to use.
- Make sure that you read and adhere to all advice signs and safety briefings while using the trails.
- You must be aware of pedestrians where the track crosses the footpaths.
- On occasions trails may have to be closed for routine maintenance work or because of adverse weather conditions. If the trails are taped off you must not ride the tracks.
- Ensure that you follow instructions when using the gateway system to load onto the trailers.
- Ensure that you remain seated in the seating area on the trailers. The tractor will not depart until the driver is happy that everyone has been seated safely. All U16s must be seated in the cage.
