I understand that the risk of physical or mental injury is an obvious risk associated with off-road motorcycling and I acknowledge and agree that my safety cannot be guaranteed by CASTLETOP OWNERS AND MANAGERS.

I accept that I will be the sole person controlling the vehicle and that, while I am riding, it will be my own correct implementation of the motorcycle controls that will determine my safety.

I declare that I hold the insurance policies necessary to my needs which are current and valid and that I have decided that the policy or policies will be sufficient to adequately provide for my and my family's financial needs should I be injured or killed or any of my property damaged, destroyed or stolen whilst on "CASTLETOP".

I agree that my delivery of this agreement or payment of any fee to CASTLETOP OWNERS AND MANAGERS shall be deemed to be my offer to be bound by the terms hereof and that acceptance of such offer need not be communicated to me but may be evidenced by provision of a position, or acceptance on to a course, or by the supply of tuition, instructions or directions by any of CASTLETOP OWNERS AND MANAGERS instructors, servants or agents and I agree that such acceptance shall be deemed to constitute agreement to all parties aforementioned in this agreement.

In consideration of the CASTLETOP OWNERS AND MANAGERS accepting me as a rider or rider's associate on "CASTLETOP", I release and forever discharge each and every one of the CASTLETOP OWNERS AND MANAGERS from all claims that I may have or may have had but for this Acknowledgement, Release and Indemnity arising from or in connection with my attendance upon "CASTLETOP" and/or my participation in any motorcycling or motorcycling related activities.
