Minors
Important Info for Minors
Motocross is a relatively safe sport. Needless to say, our insurance carrier and common sense require a parent or legal guardian to sign up a minor rider to race. For legal purposes, we need a liability release and a minor release form filled out by your parents. For safety sake, you need your parents with you in case you are hurt and need medical treatment.
If your parent can't come with you, there is a way to ride. However, you have to be prepared before coming to the track! You must bring a notarized permission note from your parent. Below is a sample of what the note should say. This is a generic version, so if there is any doubt in you or your parents mind regarding exactly what the note should or shouldn't contain it would be wise to have your parents consult with a Notary of Public.
Example:
My son/daughter INSERT MINOR'S NAME HERE has my permission to ride at Pleasant Valley Cycle Park on INSERT DATE OF EVENT HERE.
In Addition, I give permission to INSERT GUARDIAN'S NAME HERE (AN ADULT) to sign all liability, release and registration forms at the track and to give consent to medical treatment to INSERT MINOR'S NAME HERE if needed.
<INSERT PARENT OR GUARDIANS SIGNATURE HERE>
<INSERT NOTARY PUBLIC SIGNATURE AND SEAL HERE>
In the example, the guardian is someone of legal age, who will be with you at the track all day. We need an original copy of a note for every race or practice day. You should bring an extra copy for each minor to keep in case you are hurt and need to seek medical attention. Almost every race or practice it seems like we turn away at least one disappointed rider because he / she came to the track unprepared.
