Safety Rules & Regulations
Are you new to mountain biking? Forget what you have seen on TV with the X-Games or soft drink commercials.
• In cross-country bike races, the average speed is usually around 10-12 miles per hour. • This is an endurance sport where the fittest athletes win.
• Annually in the entire League combined, there may be one or two broken bones, some sprains, a few cuts, some bruises, lots of nicks and scrapes, but little else.
• Statistically, we suffer fewer serious injuries than most other mainstream sports, especially contact sports.
Rules and regulations minimize risks
• Certain risky behaviors are forbidden, the League helmet rule is strictly enforced and we expect athletes to master certain bike control skills before riding on more difficult terrain.
• We follow strict guidelines on the number of athletes per coach. This may result in limiting practice to certain areas of the park depending on coach availability. Each coach undergoes a league-mandated background check and completes concussion and risk management training each season. We always have at least one coach trained in first aid on every ride.
• Riders are grouped according to ability level.
