You will have an opportunity to snack during breaks in the range activities. Thank you for answering these questions. The information supplied will be kept in strict confidence.

Welcome!! We are so excited to have you join us for some safe, FUN, learning here at Cascade Motorcycle Safety. If you are a brand-new rider, welcome to the challenge. If you are a returning or experienced rider, welcome back. Your safety is our highest priority. Our goal is to provide a FUN environment where you will be able to gain new skills and strategies. Balance is a crucial part of riding a 2-wheeled motorcycle. You may be wondering if you have the skills it takes for this course. For our Basic Rider Course, it is important that you are able to ride and balance a 2-wheeled bicycle. For Intermediate Riders on up, you must be able to shift, stop, brake, and turn a motorcycle. Our courses take a building block approach to learning. Each exercise builds on the previous exercise to help you practice new skills and gain knowledge and confidence. You will be practicing in a group environment, and we will do all that we can to coach you to success. If you do not pass one or more of the tests, do not be discouraged. Your instructor will provide you with information for retaking tests and continuing your journey into becoming a better, safer rider.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Inc. (“MSF”), the training sponsor, the owner of the training motorcycle and premises upon which training occurs, including each of their affiliates, subsidiaries, members, employees, officers, coaches, instructors, aides, and/or agents (the “Released Parties”) cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while participating in this Motorcycle Safety Course or utilizing the Released Parties’ services or premises (collectively, the “Course”).

These services are of such value to me that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 in order to participate in the Course.

WAIVER OF LAWSUIT/LIABILITY: I hereby forever release and waive my right to bring suit against the Released Parties in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to my participation in the Course. I understand that this waiver means I give up my right to bring any claims including for personal injuries, death, disease or property losses, or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence, and give up any claim I may have to seek damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.

OTHER TERMS: I fully understand and agree that (a) this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State in which the Course is conducted; (b) if any portion of this Agreement is for any reason held invalid or legally unenforceable, then the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and legal effect; and (c) I have had the opportunity to ask any questions about this Agreement and I fully understand its terms and meaning.
