Safety Gear
If you do not have riding gear, the following safety gear will be provided by our school: helmet, eye protection, and full-fingered gloves. However, participants will need to provide the remaining protective gear: over-the-ankle footwear (must cover the ankle bone), long pants (no holes), long-sleeve shirt or jacket (again, no holes), and a rain suit (optional). All safety gear is required in order for any and all students to participate in a rider course. HELMET: Participants may use either a full-face, three-quarter, or half-helmet. Participants are encouraged to bring their own helmet for best fit & comfort. If a participant does not own a helmet, one will be provided. FACESHIELD/EYE PROTECTION: If a participant’s helmet is equipped with a faceshield, then other eye protection is not necessary. All eye protection should be clear and free of scratches, as it is essential for the instructors to be able to see your eyes for proper instruction and evaluation. GLOVES: It is suggested that participants bring their own gloves for better fit & comfort. Motorcycle specific gloves are recommended, but not required. Gloves must be full-fingered with no holes. No part of a participant’s hands can be exposed. If a participant does not own a pair of gloves, gloves will be provided. JACKET & PANTS: Long-sleeves & pants are required to be able to participate in range exercises. Again, there should be no holes, tears, or rips in either of these items. It is suggested that participants bring a number of different layers of clothing as weather changes throughout the day. BOOTS: Over-the-ankle footwear is also required in order to participant in range exercises. Although boots are recommended they are not required, participants may wear hi-top tennis shoes as long as they cover the ankle bones. There are No Exceptions to this rule.
