Is motocross safe for my child?

An excerpt from an article (full article here: [url]http://allsands.com/Kids/motocrosssafety_nc_gn.htm[/url] )

Motocross can be a fun family sport, if it’s handled like any other organized sport. It can be safe, and educational for all involved. It can instill confidence, determination and discipline.

Too often in the past it has been treated by parents as a renegade sport that they didn’t want their child involved with, and that is the kind of attitude that can lead to an unsafe situation.

With the rising popularity of motocross and its indoor brother supercross, more and more children are diving into the fold then ever before, and there are no signs that it’s going to go away anytime soon.

More people are seriously injured on football fields each year in America than on motocross tracks. Like any other sport, learning the finer points can make the difference between years of fun and accomplishment, and getting hurt in the first fifteen minutes and giving up the sport forever.

So embrace your child’s will to participate in this amazing sport. Learn with them, supervise them, and stress safety, because safety breeds fun and fun breeds the desire to excel.
