I understand that the foregoing release covers failure on the part of the Releasees to take reasonable steps to safeguard or protect me from or warn me of the risks, dangers and hazards of riding. 

I acknowledge that the decision to attempt any trail, trail feature, maneuver, or obstacle encountered while riding with Releasees, was made entirely by me, without coercion or influence by Releasees, and with a full understanding and awareness of the risks to me associated with such trail, feature, maneuver, or obstacle. I acknowledge and agree that should any part of the Agreement be determined to be void or unenforceable by a court of law, the remainder of the waiver will remain binding on the parties.

I represent and warrant that I am in good health and have no medical conditions or disabilities that restrict or impede my ability to participate in riding. I acknowledge that I have all necessary medications or aids that I might require in the event of a known medical issue (such as allergy medications, epi-pens, etc.). I acknowledge that I’m not relying on Releasees for medications; and I am not relying on Releasees to provide first-aid or any other medical treatment, and I waive any claim against Releasees to provide medical treatment or care of any kind during the riding. I agree that the Releasees are authorized to obtain medical care for me or to arrange for transportation to a medical facility or hospital if, in the opinion of Releasees, medical attention is needed. I further agree that upon arrival at the medical facility or hospital, Releasees shall have no further responsibility to me. I agree to pay all costs associated with such medical care and related transportation and to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees from any costs or claims arising from such medical care and related transportation. I have, and agree to maintain, valid and sufficient medical and accident insurance that will cover any harm or injuries I suffer while riding. I understand that this is my sole responsibility and release the Releasees from any claim or responsibility for not providing such coverage, or any failure to obtain and maintain such coverage.

I further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Releasees from any and all claims brought by third parties which arise in whole or in part from riding with Releasees.
