Riding Rules & Guidelines

Riding dirt bikes, ATV’s, pit vehicles, side-by-side and golf carts can be very exciting and fun. Action sports are also extremely dangerous, can cause injury, and even death. Safety is your responsibility. The following rules apply to EVERYONE so please follow all park rules during your visit to NWARP. All riders MUST sign the “Rider Waiver” in order to ride a motorcycle, ATV, golf cart, side-by-side or pit vehicle. There is a charge per rider to ride any motorized vehicle in our park.

1. All fees must be paid and you must sign the waiver before unloading or parking your vehicle.

2. All riders MUST wear the following safety gear while riding: DOT approved helmet, pants, boots, gloves, long sleeve shirt or jersey, and goggles. Additional suggested gear includes knee pads, knee braces, hip pads, chest protector, neck brace or neck roll, or any other type of safety equipment not listed.

3. If it is your first visit to NWARP, please be sure you fully understand the direction of the track or trail you are riding on. Enter and exit the tracks and trails at the designated areas ONLY. Never ride the tracks or trails the wrong direction; this may result in the injury of another rider as well as yourself.

4. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. By entering this property, you are assuming personal responsibility for your own actions. NWARP is not liable for personal injury, death, lost, damaged or stolen property.

5. First gear (idle speed, 5 miles per hour) in the pit/parking area. We do not allow fast or aggressive riding in the pit or parking area. Do not break this rule!

6. No reckless riding on or off the track. Be courteous to other riders.

7. No profanity, this is a family environment and children are present.

8. No alcohol allowed if you are riding any type of motorized vehicle.

9. Never ride above your ability. Riding within your means and ability is your responsibility. Be safe and courteous to other riders on and off the track.

10. Do not litter. This includes used motorcycle tires and general trash. If you are caught leaving trash on the ground, or used tires, you will be escorted out of the park.

11. Parental Responsibility: It is your responsibility as a parent to be aware of your child’s whereabouts at our facility as well as their behavior. It is your responsibility to insure that your children adhere to all of the rules at NWARP.

12. Minors are not allowed to ride alone. They must be accompanied by a parent or (adult) legal guardian and we must have a minors release on file for your child with a signature from a parent or guardian that is present, or notary stamp on the document.

13. No spectators are allowed on the tracks or trails. You are not allowed to stand/sit on, or cross any of the tracks or trails without permission from a park manager.

14. Do not go through open or closed gates inside the property. Riding outside of designated areas is strictly forbidden. Stay on trails!

15. Breaking in, cutting in or riding off designated tracks or trails will result in losing your members. Protecting the trees and wild life areas in our park is our #1 priority.

16. Rider Down: In the event that you fall, if you are able, get off the track immediately. If a rider goes down, please lend your assistance. Warn oncoming riders of the hazard. If you are riding at the time, park your vehicle off the track to avoid other riders. Ask someone for assistance. One can continue to warn other oncoming riders, the other can assist the fallen rider. If the fallen rider is unconscious DO NOT MOVE THEM and call 911 immediately. Moving a person with a spinal cord injury can cause PERMANENT PARALYSIS AND EVEN DEATH. If the rider is conscious try to determine the extent of the injuries. If only minor injuries are suffered and the rider is able, assist the rider to their pit area. If you observe any obvious broken bones call 911. If the rider loses consciousness at all call 911. If the rider is a minor ask someone to find their parents. Please have someone inform the track staff of the accident.

17. No riding allowed on tracks or trails while being maintained or watered.

18. All riders are responsible for their own motorcycle, ATV, or pit vehicle. Never “loan” your bike, ATV, or pit vehicle to someone who did not sign in to ride. Your off road vehicle is YOUR responsibility.

19. Flags: Our flags are different colors and have different meanings. Please obey all flaggers. Black flag means “No more riding” and you must exit the track. Red flag means there is a medical emergency and you must exit the track. Yellow flag means there is a downed rider so proceed with caution. No jumping or passing allowed while the yellow flag is out. If you disobey any flag, you will be asked to leave the park. There are NO flaggers on duty during public practice except in emergencies, organized practice, or closing time. You must obey flags at all times.
