Dirtbike Wrecks are Part of the Ride

Dirtbike wrecks are part of the action and the best steps to avoid serious injury or death is to wear safety gear. A dirtbike rider is not a prima donna, which means dirtbike pictures will identify you by your number when riding, having draped your precious body with safety gear.

Any rider who has never tapped another bike or laid one down is defying the odds. Extreme sports carry penalties, so minimize them with protection.

Stay aware of what is going on around you and do your best to avoid a pile-up. Watch videos of dirtbike wrecks and analyze what could have made a difference in the results.

Practice safety and work on different styles of evasive action. The longer you ride the more experienced you get at recognizing potential situations and avoiding them.

Always wear a helmet when riding and do not shortchange the protection. Make sure your helmet is the right fit for you and has great protection for your face, head and neck. There is no need to list the gruesome results of crashing without a helmet, because you have already heard the lecture. Simply stated, use your brains before you lose them.

Leather has a reputation for being tough for a good reason - it is. Snug fitting safety gloves with leather palms protect hands in the event of a slide. It is human nature to extend the arms and put the hands towards the ground while the body is skidding, so give hands great protection.

Jerseys and pants that cover your arms and legs often have padded elbows and knees for extra protection. Chest protectors help avoid cracked and broken ribs. Good boots cover much of your lower legs. Walking away from dirtbike wrecks will make you appreciate every inch of safety gear that gave you the ability to do so.

Dirt bike protective gear

Ok you may be riding a small pitbike on your back yard, and think I’ll be alright. Thing is - that’s how most accidents occur. Not on the circuit, where track marshals and first aiders are on hand to help. But when goofing around on some local ground, it takes seconds to put on your dirt bike helments, gloves and protection. If you DO attempt that mad jump, or unexpected manoeuvre, you’ll be very glad you wore your gear.
