SLAP's Message is Simple!
Teach new riders the skills they need to be SAFE and be harsh about it! Never ride with someone that can’t stop or won’t wear a helmet. Have an extra to lend.
- Always wear a helmet when riding, use a full face if you plan to go fast!
- Always wear slide gloves and knee pads…
you ARE going to fall.
- Falling and crashing are not the same, practice using your slide gear.
- Riding on the street, look ahead and behind you every 30 seconds.
- Riding a ditch, look at the sky every 10 minutes for any dark clouds.
- Know when to quit! Dark clouds, too many cars or too many pedestrians.
- Know how to stop! Foot brake, shut down slide, speed check, knee slide.
