Oregon Department of Forestry is requiring that the Kids Field Day event follow the safety regulations that are in place.

This means that everyone must ride by themselves, unless the rider is behind the driver and has foot pegs that the passenger can reach.

In response, the Trailsmen have decided to have a one day Kids Field Day event.

This year the child must ride on their own motorcycle or ATV by themselves OR ride with an adult if the child can safely remain behind the adult driver and has foot pegs that they can reach.

Due to the new safety measures in place, this years Kids Field Day event will only be a ONE day event on Saturday, August 2nd, 2009.

Keep your eyes open for fliers and other fun information!!

AMA The OHV

Image Builders At The OHV Leader we like to recognize club actives that improve the public image of the sport. Here's the latest:

If you saw a U.S. Forest Service truck roaring into your riding area, with emergency lights flashing and sirens wailing, "positive image" might be the last thing you'd think of. But that's how the guest of honor, Smoky Bear, arrived at this years Kids Field Day sponsored by the Trailsmen Motorcycle Club of Aurora, OR.

The two-day event drew about 50 riders up to age 16 each day to test their dirt bike and ATV skills. The kids, several as young as two, competed for trophies, cash awards and a large variety of prizes.

We all know that kids represent the future of the OHV recreation, but Trailsmen Secretary Bill Law reports that three and four-year-olds comprised the largest group on the first day!

Five local dealers helped sponsor the event in addition to a local ice cream shop and a popular fast food outlet. The Oregon Dept. of Forestry and the Tillamook County Sheriffs Dept. also assisted in this very positive event.
