We know when you hear DNR and law enforcement you might think “uh oh.”

It was the opposite!

They came to teach. To shake hands. To show kids how to ride legal, safe, and confident.

Local clubs brought the ATVs, the volunteers, and the know-how.

Together = the safest training.

Thank you to every officer, warden, and club member who gave up a Saturday for these new riders.

We talk a lot about celebrating the fails.

This weekend we got to PREVENT a few.

Dozens of new riders at Cannon Power Sports learned how to brake, turn, climb, and gear up right — before they had to learn the hard way.

That’s MNYRA
👍Fewer fails 🦺Safer rides 😎Same fun.

Thanks to everyone who came out. Huge thanks to Cannon Power Sports for providing perfect track for these new riders!

5 ways powersports will empower your kids — no matter what they ride:

🧡1. Confidence you can see – The first time they control a machine bigger than them, something clicks. That confidence doesn’t just stay at the track.
🩵2. Real responsibility – Safety checks, gear, rules. Kids rise to the standard you set when it matters.
🧡3. Resilience in action – Everyone tips. Everyone stalls. The lesson is in getting back on and trying again.
🩵4. Focus and control – You can’t be distracted and ride well. Powersports teaches presence without a lecture.
🧡5. Pride that sticks – “I did that myself” is a sentence that changes how kids see every challenge after.

It’s not about the machine. It’s about the kid who steps off it a little stronger.

Think your child needs dirtbike experience before taking a class? Nope 👏

Actually, first-timers are our favorite students.

Why?
✅ No bad habits — we teach it right the first time
✅ More coachable — no “but my buddy told me…” moments
✅ No scary crashes to unlearn or be nervous about
✅ Start on the right size bike — we match them to proper training bikes & gear. (With bikes on loan to use for training)

It’s like learning to read. Way easier when you start with the ABCs instead of guessing.

Got a total newbie? Perfect. That’s who this class is built for. We are looking for 5 youth riders (8yrs-17yrs) for our 2027 season! Message us directly to see how we can help empower your rider 📩
