Getting kids outdoors has mushroomed into a national movement. I'm thankful there is a lot of energy behind getting kids outside, active and away from the seductive but physically inert electronic media that consumes so much of their time. Many families in Idaho find that getting their kids outdoors on a rightsized dirt bike or ATV has many benefits. It is a family activity, but riding has much to teach a kid as an individual. While riding the machine on trails, the kid learns decision making, critical thinking and acceptance of consequences. The kid gains self-esteem, independence, confidence and responsibility. The kid learns to be a good steward of the land. Those are all important life lessons. Nature's beauty can be enjoyed even more if the kid's skills progress from a riding course's solid foundation. Last session, the Idaho Legislature passed a law mandating that kids who ride on Forest Service roads, which connect many popular riding trails, need to pass a riding course and obtain a certificate. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation was charged with designing the course and certifying instructors. Five members of the Idaho Falls Trail Machine Association became certified instructors this summer. They taught and certified more than 100 kids and a few adults throughout the season. Training begins with a verbal session and test. It covers understanding signing and maps, protecting the environment (especially to stay on trails), how to courteously encounter other trail users, and rules of the road. Kids learn proper clothing (especially helmets), safety, the parts of their machine and how they work, and how to inspect their machine before starting a ride. Most kids are anxious to ride, but some may be a little intimidated. They quickly gain confidence as they progress step by step. They're taught how to start, stop, turn, go up hills and turn on hills and how to fall safely. Riding over obstacles is next as they negotiate logs, ditches and rocks. Finally, they go on a short trail ride where they can enjoy what they've learned. Certified Instructor Morgann Hart, now a high school senior, said: "Teaching the kids was very enjoyable and rewarding. It was great to help a little kid, who was maybe a little hesitant at the start, progress and improve throughout the day. He just beamed with joy at his accomplishment." The kids learned quickly from teenager Morgann, the first instructor in her age group and the first female instructor in Idaho. Outdoor organized sports have merit, but kids need unstructured outdoor recreation. Families need outdoor recreation choices. Idaho's certified riding course helps get families who choose motorized recreation enjoy it safely and responsibly with their kids.
