Rider safety

Ride safe, ride more

Riders must comply with track marshals’ instructions at all times. Here’s the kit you must wear and the flags you need to know.

Compulsory

Riding kit – must be worn

All participants must wear this minimum level of riding kit during any riding activity.

Helmet

ACU Gold stamped, properly fitting safety helmet (white stamp for auto riders).

Goggles

Goggles or protective safety glasses – not sunglasses.

Boots

Boots which cover the ankle, ideally without external laces.

Gloves

Gloves must be worn at all times on track.

Clothing

Covering arms and legs with no skin exposed. No shorts or T-shirts on track.

Recommended: body armour

Additional kit such as body armour is optional but recommended.

On track

Marshals’ flags

Know these before you ride. Marshals’ instructions must be followed at all times.

Red flag

Stop immediately! Do not continue riding around the track.

Yellow flag

Proceed with caution. Reduce your speed and continue around the track with caution.

A flashing yellow beacon means the same as a yellow flag.

Chequered flag

End of session. Leave the track at the designated place. Do not continue on the track beyond the flag.

Solo MX and enduro bikes only – no quads and no MX sidecars.
Your responsibility

Rider responsibility

J4M54 does not test the skill of individual participants, nor does J4M54 licence or judge riders’ competence. Participants are solely responsible for their own safety.

Riding at J4M54 does not imply that a rider has been trained, tested or certified to have achieved any level of competence in the operation of their machine. Participants are solely responsible for the condition of their machine and personal riding equipment.

J4M54 has the authority to prevent the use of any machine or equipment that we do not think is satisfactory.

Warning to the public: motor sport can be dangerous

Despite the organisers taking reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. Please comply with all instructions of marshals and notices, and remain in permitted areas only.
