Disclaimer

Last Updated: 5/30/2026

This Disclaimer applies to all RAD539 programs, training sessions, coaching services, clinics, race-prep sessions, trail rides, private lessons, group training, semi-private training, race-day support, events, website content, communications, and related services offered by RAD539, Ricky Dietrich, RAD539 representatives, contractors, coaches, assistants, partners, sponsors, affiliated tracks, facilities, landowners, dealerships, vendors, and event hosts.

By using this website, booking a RAD539 session, attending a RAD539 event, participating in any RAD539 activity, or allowing a minor to participate in any RAD539 activity, you acknowledge and agree to the terms below.

1. Motorsports and Off-Road Riding Are Inherently Dangerous

Motocross, dirt bike riding, off-road riding, trail riding, racing, practice, coaching, and training are inherently dangerous activities. These activities involve known and unknown risks, including but not limited to:

  • Crashes, falls, collisions, and loss of control
  • Contact with other riders, bikes, vehicles, objects, terrain, trees, rocks, jumps, ruts, roots, logs, water crossings, or track features
  • Mechanical failure or equipment failure
  • Changing weather, visibility, dust, mud, or surface conditions
  • Mistakes made by the rider, other riders, spectators, track staff, event staff, or third parties
  • Physical exhaustion, dehydration, heat illness, cold exposure, and fatigue
  • Serious bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, or death
  • Damage to motorcycles, vehicles, gear, equipment, or personal property

Participation in any RAD539 activity is voluntary. Riders and parents/guardians are responsible for understanding these risks before participating.

2. Coaching Does Not Eliminate Risk

RAD539 provides coaching, instruction, feedback, rider development, and training guidance. However, no coaching program can eliminate the risks associated with motocross, off-road riding, trail riding, or motorcycle operation.

RAD539 does not guarantee that any rider will avoid injury, improve performance, win races, qualify for events, reach a specific skill level, or achieve any particular result. Rider improvement depends on many factors, including rider ability, effort, fitness, bike condition, practice habits, decision-making, terrain, weather, track conditions, and other variables outside RAD539’s control.

3. Rider Responsibility

Each rider is responsible for riding within their own ability level and comfort level at all times. Riders must use good judgment, follow all instructions, respect the class structure, obey track or facility rules, and avoid attempting any skill, obstacle, jump, line, speed, drill, or terrain they do not feel prepared to attempt.

Riders are responsible for immediately notifying RAD539 staff if they feel unsafe, injured, fatigued, uncomfortable, confused, or unable to continue.

RAD539 may remove a rider from a session if the rider is acting dangerously, ignoring instructions, riding beyond their ability, creating risk for others, violating rules, or otherwise disrupting the session. Removal from a session does not guarantee a refund.

4. Required Gear

All riders must arrive with proper riding gear in good condition. At minimum, riders are required to wear:

  • Helmet
  • Goggles
  • Gloves
  • Jersey or long-sleeve riding top
  • Riding pants
  • Motocross or off-road riding boots

Additional protective equipment is strongly recommended, including but not limited to chest protector or roost guard, knee protection, elbow protection, neck brace, hydration system, and other appropriate safety equipment.

RAD539 may require additional gear for youth riders, trail sessions, race-prep sessions, advanced sessions, or specific tracks/facilities. Riders who arrive without required gear may not be allowed to participate and may not be eligible for a refund.

5. Motorcycle Condition and Mechanical Responsibility

Each rider is responsible for bringing a safe, properly maintained, and mechanically sound motorcycle that is appropriate for the class, rider size, skill level, and riding environment.

Before participating, riders should inspect and confirm the condition of their motorcycle, including but not limited to:

  • Tires
  • Brakes
  • Throttle operation
  • Clutch operation
  • Chain and sprockets
  • Levers and controls
  • Fluids
  • Spokes
  • Suspension
  • Footpegs
  • Handlebars
  • Kill switch
  • General mechanical safety

RAD539 is not responsible for bike failures, mechanical issues, maintenance problems, damage, or loss of riding time caused by a rider’s motorcycle or equipment. If a motorcycle breaks, becomes unsafe, or cannot continue, RAD539 may require the rider to stop participating.

6. Track, Facility, Event, and Landowner Rules

RAD539 sessions may take place at third-party tracks, race facilities, OHV areas, trail systems, private properties, dealership events, race events, or other locations not owned or controlled by RAD539.

All riders and guests must follow the rules, requirements, fees, waivers, instructions, and safety policies of the track, facility, landowner, event organizer, race promoter, or managing organization.

Track fees, gate fees, camping fees, practice fees, race entry fees, parking fees, land-use fees, permits, or facility charges are not included in RAD539 pricing unless specifically stated in writing on the class page or booking confirmation.

RAD539 is not responsible for closures, schedule changes, track-prep issues, facility conditions, weather decisions, event delays, property rules, or third-party policies outside RAD539’s control.

7. Trail and Off-Road Requirements

For trail, off-road, and public-land riding sessions, riders are responsible for meeting all legal and land-use requirements, including but not limited to:

  • OHV tags or permits
  • Vehicle registration requirements
  • Spark arrestor requirements
  • Sound requirements
  • Land-use restrictions
  • Parking rules
  • Fire restrictions
  • Public-land regulations
  • Environmental and trail-use rules

RAD539 may refuse participation to any rider whose motorcycle, equipment, documentation, or behavior does not meet the requirements of the riding area.

8. Minors and Parent/Guardian Responsibility

Minors may participate only with proper parent or legal guardian consent and all required forms completed before the session.

A parent or legal guardian may be required to remain on site for youth riders, depending on the rider’s age, session type, track/facility rules, insurance requirements, and RAD539 policy.

Parents and guardians are responsible for accurately representing the minor rider’s age, skill level, experience, medical considerations, bike size, and readiness for the session. RAD539 may move, limit, or remove a youth rider from a session if the rider is not appropriately matched to the class, bike, skill level, or riding environment.

Minor participation may require additional waivers, medical authorization, emergency contact information, and photo/video releases.

9. Medical Conditions and Fitness to Participate

Riders are responsible for determining whether they are physically and mentally fit to participate in motocross, off-road riding, trail riding, or training activities.

Riders should not participate if they are injured, impaired, ill, under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that affect judgment or coordination, or otherwise unable to ride safely.

Riders and parents/guardians are responsible for disclosing relevant medical conditions, allergies, limitations, prior injuries, emergency information, or special concerns before participating. RAD539 is not a medical provider and does not provide medical advice.

In the event of an accident, injury, or medical concern, RAD539 may seek emergency assistance as appropriate, but RAD539 does not guarantee the availability, timing, or outcome of emergency medical response.

10. No Guarantee of Results

RAD539 training is designed to help riders improve technique, confidence, racecraft, safety awareness, and riding ability. However, RAD539 does not guarantee any specific outcome, result, performance improvement, race result, sponsorship opportunity, ranking, qualification, or competitive success.

Testimonials, examples, videos, rider results, or past experiences shown on the website or social media are not guarantees of future results.

11. Website Information and Educational Content

Information on this website, in RAD539 social media posts, emails, flyers, videos, text messages, product pages, class descriptions, and other materials is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

RAD539 makes reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and updated, but class details, locations, pricing, schedules, availability, travel fees, requirements, instructors, assistant coaches, and policies may change at any time.

If there is a conflict between general website information and the specific details listed on a class product page, booking confirmation, waiver, or written communication from RAD539, the more specific and current information will apply.

12. Pricing, Availability, and Schedule Changes

RAD539 pricing, class availability, rider caps, locations, products, packages, travel fees, rental options, and schedules may change at any time.

A booking is not confirmed until payment has been received and any required forms, waivers, or approvals have been completed.

RAD539 may cancel, reschedule, relocate, delay, or modify a session due to weather, unsafe conditions, facility closure, low enrollment, instructor availability, emergency, travel issues, land-use restrictions, or other circumstances.

13. Refunds, Cancellations, and Credits

RAD539’s refund, cancellation, transfer, and credit policies are listed separately on the website and/or on the applicable class page. By booking, riders agree to the posted policy for that session.

Unless otherwise stated, missed sessions, late arrivals, no-shows, rider withdrawal, bike failure, lack of required gear, incomplete paperwork, or removal from a session due to unsafe behavior may not qualify for a refund.

If RAD539 cancels a session, RAD539 may offer a reschedule, class credit, or refund according to the applicable cancellation policy.

14. Travel Fees and Custom Locations

Private coaching, semi-private coaching, trail coaching, dealer events, group bookings, race support, and custom training locations may require additional travel fees.

Travel fees may vary based on distance from RAD539’s operating base, drive time, fuel, lodging, schedule impact, location access, and other logistical factors.

Travel fees are not included unless specifically stated in writing.

15. Rentals and Third-Party Equipment

RAD539 may offer or help coordinate rental bikes, rental gear, dealer demo bikes, or third-party equipment in the future. Unless specifically stated in writing, riders should assume they are responsible for bringing their own motorcycle and gear.

Any rental bike, rental gear, demo bike, or third-party equipment may be subject to separate agreements, deposits, damage policies, eligibility requirements, and liability waivers.

RAD539 is not responsible for the condition, availability, failure, performance, or suitability of third-party rental equipment unless expressly agreed in writing.

16. Photos, Videos, and Media

RAD539 may capture photos, videos, audio, testimonials, and other media during training sessions, events, clinics, and activities for coaching, education, marketing, social media, website content, promotional materials, and business purposes.

Participants may be asked to sign a photo/video release. If a rider or parent/guardian does not want media used publicly, they must notify RAD539 in writing before the session.

Spectators, parents, guests, and media personnel must remain in approved areas and follow all track, facility, and RAD539 instructions.

17. Third-Party Links, Partners, and Sponsors

This website may reference or link to third-party tracks, facilities, dealerships, race organizations, sponsors, vendors, booking tools, payment processors, social media platforms, or partner businesses.

RAD539 is not responsible for third-party websites, policies, pricing, services, products, claims, schedules, safety practices, or business operations.

A reference to a third party does not necessarily mean RAD539 controls, owns, endorses, or is legally responsible for that third party.

18. Assumption of Risk and Release Requirements

All participants may be required to sign a waiver, release of liability, assumption of risk agreement, indemnity agreement, minor waiver, medical authorization, and/or facility-specific waiver before participating.

Participation may be denied if required forms are not completed.

This website disclaimer is not a substitute for a signed waiver, release, or legal agreement. Riders and parents/guardians should carefully read all documents before signing.

Liability-waiver enforceability can vary by state and circumstance. Washington sources generally describe recreational waivers as potentially enforceable when clearly written and conspicuous, but not guaranteed in every situation; Oregon has also had recent public debate and legal activity around recreation-provider waivers.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RAD539, Ricky Dietrich, RAD539 representatives, coaches, assistant coaches, contractors, volunteers, partners, sponsors, vendors, affiliated tracks, facilities, landowners, dealerships, and event hosts shall not be liable for injuries, damages, losses, claims, costs, expenses, or property damage arising from or related to participation in RAD539 activities, use of the website, reliance on website information, third-party facility conditions, mechanical failures, rider decisions, weather, terrain, or other inherent risks of motocross and off-road riding.

Some jurisdictions may not allow certain limitations of liability, and nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to waive rights or responsibilities that cannot legally be waived.

20. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, participants, parents/guardians, and guests agree to be responsible for their own actions and for any claims, damages, injuries, losses, or expenses caused by their conduct, negligence, rule violations, unsafe riding, misrepresentation of skill level, equipment failure, or failure to follow instructions.

21. No Legal, Medical, or Professional Advice

Nothing on this website should be considered legal, medical, insurance, mechanical, or professional advice. Riders should consult qualified professionals for legal, medical, mechanical, insurance, or safety questions.

22. Agreement to This Disclaimer

By using this website, purchasing a RAD539 service, booking a class, attending an event, participating in training, or allowing a minor to participate, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer.

If you do not agree with this Disclaimer, do not use this website, book a RAD539 service, or participate in RAD539 activities.
