What’s the best way to make sure the roads and the tracks are filled with safe motorbike riders? Start them young!
And one place they can do it is at a Blacktown Junior MiniBike Club ‘Come and Try’ day. The club caters for kids as young as four, right up to sixteen years of age, and club president Matt Stoneman says the younger they are, the more knowledge they can take in.
Kids trying a minibike for the first time will be shown the basics of the bike – the accelerator, the brakes and the gears. Then they can try for their first solo ride.
Once they get more confidence on the bikes, kids can practice on the minikhana tracks, which teach the techniques and skills of safe riding. There are plenty of different skills and courses to learn, and you can even test your skills against kids in other minibike clubs.
Or they can race their clubmates around the two motorcross tracks on the club’s Horsley Park site.
Bring your kids to come and try minibiking – once they hop on, they’ll be hooked.
