OFF ROAD SAFETY
We recommend that children not ride on rough terrain unless they are accompanied by an adult. Off road riding
on approved trails with appropriate protective equipment can be done with mountain bikes and BMX bikes if
you have the skill and experience necessary to maintain control. Whether you call it Aggro, Hucking, Freeride,
North Shore, Downhill, Jumping, Stunt Riding, Racing or something else: it is NOT off road riding, it is NOT
recommended and if you engage in this sort of extreme, aggressive riding you will get hurt, and you voluntarily
assume a greatly increased risk of injury or death. Dynacraft bicycles are not designed for these types of
extreme riding.
The variable conditions and hazards of off-road riding require close attention and specific skills. Start slowly on
easier terrain and build up your skills. If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may develop also
increases your risk of losing control and falling. Get to know how to handle your bike safely before trying in-
creased speed or more difficult terrain.
1. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding you plan to do.
2. Don’t 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.
3. Always take along some kind of identification, so that people know who you are in case of an accident;
and take along some cash for food, a cool drink or an emergency phone call.
WARNING
Although many catalogs, advertisements and articles about bicycling
depict riders engaged in extreme riding, this activity is extremely
dangerous, increases your risk of injury or death, and increases the
severity of any injury. Remember that the action depicted is being
performed by professionals with many years of training and
experience. Even with state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you
could be seriously injured or killed when jumping, stunt riding,
riding downhill at speed or in competition.
WARNING
Bicycles and bicycle parts have
limitations with regard to strength
and integrity, and this type of
riding can exceed those limitations.
