Bicycle & Dirt Bike Off-Road Checklist

Everything You Need for a Dirt-Filled Day!

Prepping for an off-road riding adventure? We put together a comprehensive list of the essentials you will need to get you in gear for your next track and/or trail trip. This is a functional checklist that is meant to prevent you from forgetting anything important.

The Main Necessities:

Bike & Location

You won't get very far on your dirt day adventure if you don't have your own set of two wheels. Make sure to prep your ride before your trip with a full tank and overall checkup. Don't have a bike? Check locations near you that offer rental bike services.

You will also need to plan where you want to ride. Look up your local mx tracks, trails, and off-roading parks for fun spots to try out.

Helmet

Protective head gear is essential when hitting the track/trails. Head injuries are typically the most severe and the most common. It's always better to be safe than sorry!

Gear/Appropriate Apparel:

Goggles

The last thing you want while cruising around on your dirt bike or bicycle is bugs, dirt, mud, or branches flying into your eyes. Goggles will help prevent sweat, wind and all other elements from hindering your vision.

Riding Boots

A good pair of riding boots will protect your legs and feet from the hot temps coming from your bike engine, elements such as rain and mud, and from the impact of high speeds. A good pair of boots will also reduce leg/foot injuries if you crash and provide you with stability and comfort when you ride.

 Long Sleeve Shirt & Pants

 When it comes to the clothing you should wear while riding, it's ideal to wear a long-sleeve shirt with a pair for comfortable, durable pants. A jersey and pants made for mx will be able to withstand more wear & tear than regular clothing. They will also provide better ventilation.

Hydro Pack

A hydro pack might be ideal if you are going on a long trail and will be away from your main location for a long period of time. Staying hydrated during physically demanding activities is super important, so you can't go wrong with adding a hydro pack to the list of essentials.

 Phone & Camera Mounts

Capturing your riding experience on video will make your ride that much more memorable and exciting. You never know what kind of sick tricks you might catch on camera, and it can also help you to look back at your skill levels and see how you grow as a rider.

GPS

If you are going to a location that you are unfamiliar with, its always a good idea to go prepared. A GPS system will help in case of an emergency or if you get lost during your ride.

Tool Kit

You never know when your ride might malfunction. Life happens, so it’s always a good idea to have any tools you might need to fix any damages that occur. 

First Aid Kit

There is always a possibility that you could get injured any time you go out and ride. Keeping a first aid kit with you could be a life saver if an accident or crash occurs. 

No matter what type of off-road riding you do, it’s important to make sure that you are prepared. Now that you have everything you need, you are ready to get out and ride. Be safe and have fun out there!
