am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment and/or machinery with knowledge of the dangers involved. Examples
of the inherent risks involved are: I may forget how to brake or otherwise slow or stop the bike when I need to; I may accelerate without
intending to; the bike may fall on me or otherwise strike me; another participant or his/her bike may hit me; I may panic and not do what I

will not receive reimbursement of the registration fee. The program strongly suggests that I obtain my own private insurance to cover any
injuries I may sustain. (Participant, please initial ___________) As the parent/legal guardian, I acknowledge that my minor understands this.
