MTF NEWS Last month's Newsletter initiated a lively discussion on Facebook about motocross safety. From the comments and likes we calculated the most often cited ideas for reducing major injuries at races. They are: 1. Safer, slower, better groomed tracks 2. Keep small, less experienced kids off bigger bikes for longer 3. Better flagging/race steward 4. Better ER at the track 5. Riders should wear more safety equipment
It would not take a lot for all of these ideas to be implemented.
