Safety

Q Are the courses safe?
A The courses are as safe as we can make them; listen to the instructors carefully, but remember, you will be riding on motorcycles, and you will be expected to follow the instructions given.
 
Q Is there a qualified first aider on site?
A Yes, and basic first aid facilities are on site in the office, although medication cannot be administered by our staff.
 
Q I have a medical condition (e.g. epilepsy, diabetes etc.) does this mean I can't go on the course?
A Possibly. This has to be assessed on a case by case basis. Safety has to come first, but we try to ensure that everyone can join in.
 
Q Do you have public liability insurance?
A Yes, upto £10 million worth, but you may wish to purchase personal accident cover insurance.

A Yes, and there are always two of the 90-ONE staff on site along with the responsible adult for the group (school courses).

Miscellaneous

Q Can I ride on the road when I have done the off-road course?

Q Can I use my bike?
A No. We supply the bikes. This ensures that they are mechanically sound, less likely to break down (and ruin the fun), maximise your safety, and remain within reasonable noise restrictions.
 
Q Can I bring my friends to watch?
A This is a formal training course for the participants, however, parent(s) or legal gardian for younger riders can watch from the spectators area. Group courses can also be arranged if you have some friends who want to take the course.
