Next there is usually some form of debriefing about the day's event and the terrain of the track. Organisers will indicate if the trial ride is suitable for all levels of riders and style of motorbikes beforehand. Many of the tracks have been bulldozed especially while also retaining the natural terrain of the land. There will also be marshals whom you need to listen to and take directions from during the ride.

You will require all the standard safety protection including: helmets, gloves, long sleeves, riding trousers and you must wear proper motorcycle boots. It is also advisable to invest in body armor, protection pads and a good pair of goggles - unless you want to be stopping to get the mud out of your eyes.

There are various online stores that specialize in off road motocross gear and accessories. Invest in good quality gear and you will soon be on your way to enjoying the many trail ride events held around the country.
