Emergency Situations

The Factory does it’s best to provide an environment to learn BMX/skate/scooter/etc. tricks and stunts as safely as possible.  However, these activities are inherently dangerous. Please be aware and prepared of how to handle potential emergency situations.  

Be Prepared!

    • If you are riding by yourself, make sure someone will check in with you or you will check in with them at an agreed upon time
  • Make sure your/a phone is easily accessible in case of injury
  • For serious injury call 911 or assign someone to call 911
