On some motorbike trackdays, they check that your lid is properly done up.

Cant this be done for the youg bloke on their way to or at the gate?

They used to look under the chins of all the kids when my lad used to race MX when they used to come to the start gate, I have found BMX racing to be quite slack in that department  ::), maybe its not as statistically as dangerous  :idiot2: I always have to check my 3 boys and keep on at them before thay go on the track as they do get complacent !!!!!

They always make an announcement regarding helmet straps in the North Region.

And very often one of the officials and the gate operator will ask riders to 'strap up'...

That's how it should be  :daumenhoch: as long as they don't ask them to "strap on"  :2funny:
