Despite what the majority of people will see on TV, dirt bike riding isn’t all about a few people going around the same track a number of times. In reality, dirt bike riding can be a great family activity.

When it comes time for parents to think about new activities for the family to enjoy, dirt bike riding isn’t often a thought. Instead, activities like camping, road trips, and sports are the regular go-to options. However, as enjoyable as these activities are, they aren’t exactly adrenalin racing adventures.

Why Your Family Will Love Dirt Bike Riding

If you love a bit of adrenalin and are looking for a new activity for you and your family to enjoy, below is a great post from Ken Reaser Enterprises with information on the benefits to you and your family of trying dirt bike riding.

Social Activity

The first benefit to mention is the social aspect of dirt bike riding. Despite what you see on TV, riding around a track forms only part of your day at a dirt bike riding track or park. In addition to the tracks, parks can also offer amenities like shared cooking facilities, shaded picnic and eating areas, entertainment and play equipment, along with lessons for those looking to learn how to ride. As you can imagine, this type of atmosphere is great for families who are looking to expand their social network and make new friends.

Time for Exercise

As much as parents know the importance of their children participating in some exercise, it can often be difficult to encourage children who don’t enjoy traditional sports to get off the couch. This is where dirt bike riding can help. Despite how it looks on the surface, dirt bike riding requires a lot of physical exertion.
  • Making your way over jumps and terrain means that you will spend much of your time standing on your pegs, working out your leg muscles.
  • Maintaining balance on the bike requires you to engage and strengthen your core as the bike moves beneath you side to side.
  • Of course, don’t forget your arms and shoulder muscles which are constantly engaged to keep you on track.
While it may not be considered an aerobic session, it’s fair to say that dirt bike riding involves its own type of exercise.

Teaching Children Responsibility

It’s important for all children to learn the importance of responsibility, and while household chores can be a great platform, children don’t find the task exciting, which makes it difficult for the lesson to be learned. However, if your children enjoy riding then they will also enjoy keeping the bike in good shape. After each ride, a dirt bike requires some basic maintenance to ensure it stays in good shape and is ready to go. This maintenance includes:
  • Washing the bike and removing debris
  • Performing a synthetic oil change
  • Replacing or cleaning the air filter
  • Drying the bike
  • Storing the bike away safely and securely
These are all basic items and won’t take long, but can be a great way to teach children about responsible vehicle ownership.

Stress Relief

Last, but certainly not least, is the stress relief benefit which can come from dirt bike riding. While some people will spend a day at the mall buying everything they can to forget about their daily stresses or even spend a few hours in a yoga session, for others, switching off their brain isn’t as easy. Riding a dirt bike requires a tremendous amount of mental focus, otherwise, you can quickly find yourself swimming in a pool of mud or battling a face full of tree branches. For many people, riding is just what they need to force their brain to forget about their stresses and enjoy the activity.

Give All of Your Vehicles a Synthetic Oil Change in Apopka

If you still aren’t entirely sure about the idea, head to a nearby track park and see for yourself. Of course, if you do take up the sport, be sure to keep your vehicle in good shape. Performing a quick synthetic oil change on your dirt bike, daily vehicle, jet ski or even lawnmower, can not only improve the vehicle’s performance but also work to reduce engine damage and extend its lifespan.
