I showed the waiver above to the cops yesterday and they said it was cool so they sat and watched us stunt.

This waiver gives only one person responsibility though--so if your boys want to come out and stunt make sure you add an asterisk at the bottom of the waiver stating YOU have sole decision and responsibility of WHO rides at the spot. And only when you are there or else people might start making copies of waivers and blowing up the spot. Good Luck!

somebody should make this a sticky. its some good quality stuff

TILLER

done

KevinWebster1

Good work Tiller

F.P.L.K.S.

If you do a show for someone and sign a waiver like this, it protectes the property owner from you sueing him for f*cking yourself up. Does anything protect me from getting sued if something dumb happens and a spectator gets hurt?

KevinWebster1

another good point...

f4rider

you'd have to have everyone sign the waiver, and depending on the state you're in, your *** might still not be covered. But that's what event liability insurance is for.

circle_roker

im pretty sure that if a spectator is on the owners proporty without his permisson then they are breaking the trsspassing law, if its after hours.. so if you have the form, then you are safe, and they are breaking the law, so you are safe... dont take my word for it, but it sounds right.. so i think that you woul be on the up and up... but then again, when has motorcycle stunting been 100% on the up and up???

Armenian

Coasters keeps spectators away from you lol. Throw in a wobble for bonus points. I usually get the deer in the headlights look haha.

We typically request that we be named in the companies event insurance policy, which is typically a blanket policy for tracks (don't need to be named), shops etc might be different. More often than not, companies notify their insurance company that an event may be taking place, that is when you would want to make the request.

If they won't cover us under their policy we raise the rates that we charge and call an events insurance company and obtain a policy. We have done shows in the past with no policy but it can be risky.

F.P.L.K.S.

How much does one of these event policies cost? We have a guy at a bar that wants us to do a show but hes worried about the "what ifs" and spectators getting hurt. If you put up a disclaimer at the riding area like enter at your own risk does that get you anywhere?

If anyone cares here is the form so you can just copy, paste, and print.

I dont know if this is true or not but my buddy told me in Canada a waiver has no right if you die or get a injury you can still sue... Theres a law saying your not allowed to sign any document or waiver they may result in injury or death, I dont know if this is true or not but I still wouldn't sue the owner cause after all he let me use his lot.

Beto

well I doubt you'll able to sue if you die
