Riding/track/land Waiver

ok gang i kinda need to get a waiver for folks to sign to ride my my track just to cover my rearend. is there like a official AMA waiver or something i can get? or is there a website i can print one off or of? thanks

Here is the AMA Release: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/asp/organizers/resources/forms/Releases/OffRoadAdult.pdf

It is for AMA Sanctioned Events- you can use it as a refferance. With AMA Events- Clubs pay for the AMA sanction and insurance. This waiver protects the AMA- AMA protects the Club- IF all rules are followed in the Risk Management training. There are X factors for sure.

For a private land owner- much is defined by your state's laws. In some states- you would be protected by law as the landowner- but most still would have concerns. Some states my place more liability on you than others. Some might say it doesn't matter what you have them sign. But it definately would make you feel good. Again- there are always X factors. My brother has people sign waivers when we have a club invite- while our state apparently has laws that protects the landowner-it makes him feel better: IT DEPENDS though- hairy stuff.

My best advice- talk to a local enduro/hairscramble/ mx club and ask them about releases in your state. related to landowners and private tracks. The enduro/ /hairscramble crew most certainly use private land of many different landowners and would be able to give you the best answers for your state: short of hiring an attourney.

thanks for the info

I've been looking for a release as well. Some states as you mentioned have laws that basically say if you get on in and kick start it, or say gitty up you are responsible for what happens to you. Arkansas is that way and Oklahoma has similar laws for rodeo events but I'm not sure about motorcycles. A friend who lives in Arkansas holds hare scrambles on her property and even though she is protected by state law she still has everyone sign a form. One reason is it's a good way to gather autographs and she has a few good ones like Malcom Smith.

I need to check in to Missouri law but I'll probably have guests sign a form anyway. Lawsuits can ruin you even if you're in the right and maybe this could help avoid one.

for sure man. you have to cover your hide nowdays.

These waivers are about your only defense .... but I have read in a few places that you cannot sign away your liability in many cases ...

I'd be a little selective on who rode there ....
