Bill Jones has made the offer to provide some additional ATV Safety classes for the GlamisDunes.com Families. We are working on dates and times.

Lets make Slappy proud and get our kids certified.

Thanks for offering this up...I'll be checking my calendar

I'm happy to say both of my kids are certified, this is an awesome plan..

What is the time length of the class? Anyone know?

And their mom is CERTIFIABLE !!

My son is 5 and rides a LT50. He is not old enough to take this course correct? That being the case do I take the "observer" course and then I am covered?

crusty are you still working on the weekend of the "family invasion" for the class?

Do they provide classes not in Glamis? All of the current dates posted will not work for us. But I would like to get my 3 kids certified. Any info would be great

If I'm from AZ does my son or me still have to be certified?

Niice!! And what exactly does an Observer do? Thanks!

If you plan on riding in Ca., I think you do.

yes , they have classes here in az. tim

Yes classes in glamis

here is a picture from the first class last weekend...Tim

Do they provide the atv for training?

What is the minimum age for this?

ditto

I'm also confused because we are getting two different rulings:

Just got off the phone!

6 yrs old or older can take this training class.

Some questions answered.....

Age: 6 year old to 17 year old riders are Required to have Certification or be under direct supervision of an Adult with Certification.

Loaner ATVs: Some locations do have loaner ATVs for use of children - FREE.

Locations: There are MANY locations across many states, use the below link to find the one nearest you. Click on your State, Enter your Zip and follow the instructions. It will give you allot of info including how many spots are still open in each class.

Under 6 Riders: By Mfg. Age requirements, they are not supposed to be riding. I agree this is BS, but its the current law. My little ones under the age of 6 will simply ride ATC70's that do not have an Mfg Age Requirement. They will be under my direct supervision and I plan to get Certified myself this year. It's the only loop I see for this scenario.

Special GD.com Training: YES! This is still in the works and will happen, details to follow. If you're worried and have trips planned REAL soon...just get it done. Your kids will still be invited and recognized at the event.

two kids and two adults lookin at Nov 22. but not sure on the second adult... $150 WOW. Any way to get the vin checked to see if it still has the credit on the vehicle?

Call 800-887-2887, they can check your VIN and tell you over the phone.

yep .crusty has obviously done his homework . it is very easy to do . my atv was an 05 and they still had me in there . tim

I just called and the Nov. 7th Glamis class is full. They have 2 "standby" spots open.

That seems like a lot of $$$, but the way I look at it, get your kids certified for free, then they are legal, you only need to be certified to supervise them if they are not certified, right? No need for the adults to get certified if the kids have the cert.

Am I correct?

Yes, that is correct.

A couple of questions.............

If the quad isn't green stickered, can you take the class?

You have to be 6yr old to take the class?

I believe......An adult needs to watching any child under 14 yrs old riding at any time.........so if the kids take this class, is this still true?

Why isn't this class also open to SxS, and motorcycles? Just wondering.............

The funding for this comes from grants from our Green Sticker fees, right?

I am happy for this program, a bunch of us were trying to get this done 5 years ago

I just called and got signed up. Classes for 6-11 year olds are limited, as they have a different cirriculum for them. The guy suggested that I just take the class and my son just "observe". This makes it easier to get into a class and give him all the same priveleges as if he actually participated in the class. I'm doing the October 18th one in Colton, so he will be all legal before the first family trip.

Awesome

In case anybody is wondering how much that Ticket will cost you....

ABSOLUTELY SLAPPTACIOUS. Great Job Crusty. This is exactly what we need for the chitlins of Mother G. If it is law, then hot darn, let's GidrDone. Good questions, and let's keep them coming.

Just wondering why the ATV Safety Institute has the online course as an option? Is there anything that says this is not appropriate training? I took the test, got the cert and will use it until I can get my kid certified. I don't mind having her take the physical course to get the cert, but why offer the e-course and cert if it's not appropriate training? I figure I can at least buy some time this way until I can get my kid certified for real...

Halloween weekend the "Dune Tour" they offer safety training by atv safety, classes are legnthy roughly 3 to 4 hours long. best part of this weekend is you leave the kids with the instructor and walk the "Dune Tour" area...

As for my kids both of them are certified, and it does eas the mind...

The on-line "E-Course" is for a refresher or introductory on some of the items covered in the Rider Course.

Only Participants or Observers who pass the Rider Course will receive the Certification that meets the Law.

Good to know Bustin B's - Great opportunity to do this at Dune Tour.

Post #1 Updated.

If you are gonna be in Glamis this Sat. 10/24

I have a GD.com ONLY class set up for us.

FREE for Kids, FREE for Adults.

It is a Family Class, so we can take it alongside your kids.

9am - Vendor Row Behind GBS - 3 hours.

PM me to sign up.

Is there a class for GD peps 10.31.09

We did our ATV Safety Training this past Sat. out in Glamis.

It went Awesome! Kids and Adults both had a fun time.
We got many Parents and their Children Trained and Certified.


If you have a good sized group and want to set up a Private Training for your group, please PM me.

Open / possible dates for this are Nov. 7, 14, 22 or 28.

Normal Class size is 8 Riders and 4 Observers.

Thanks for the quick set up of the class this weekend it was great

Thanks for setting this up.

Is there going to be a class on Nov 7th? If not how many people would you need to set one up?

I have already signed my daughter up for the class on the 22nd. I called to verify that they would have a loaner quad for her and they could not verify that one would be available. Any way to verify that one will be available?

Also, I asked about signing myself up as an "observer" to avoid having to pay the $150 and still get certified. They said that only "observers" under the age of 15 will get a certificate for observing. I'm going to try and get in at no charge since I purchased a new quad a few years ago, they don't have it in their system, but they said to call back with the vin and purchase info and they could probably get me in the class at no charge, so we'll see.

Anymore info on the GD.com classes?

PM's sent.

I contacted you previously regarding setting up a training for November 7 and was just wondering what the possibility was of getting this set up. We have 2 children that would be observers. Thanks!

JBenet /\/\

Now has a Class for the 22nd in Glamis...There are a few spots left. PM him if you want in on that date.

Trust me folks.....it's well worth your time to get this done.

Crusty i want to enroll my son in the nov 22nd class if possible let me know if availible.Iwould enroll myself to observe my daughter but funds are very tight this year.

Jbennet would a 90 quad work out??My son rides one but due to being 7 he cant use it for the class and going to have to use the 50 quad/We plan on being out the 21st.

PM sent

This is what this is all about folks.

We have an oppertunity to get this class done in Glamis.
