Trail bike riders need better, safer and more areas to ride!
The Recreational Trailbike Riders Association of WA (RTRA) has been formed to represent your interests as a responsible recreational trail bike rider
Even if you are beginner, there is a ride for everyone!

About RTRA
RTRA has been formed around four key objectives: 1. To protect and extend quality, safer off-road riding opportunities for Western Australian recreational trail bike riders of all ages. 2. To promote and encourage safety and responsible riding attitudes, including minimising noise and trail damage. 3. To actively pursue the needs of trail bike riders with State and Local Government, landowners and other stakeholders. 4. To improve the perception of trail bike riding as a recreational activity.

Our Projects
RTRA work towards protecting and extending quality riding opportunities in Western Australia.
You can keep up to date with the progress on these projects via our facebook page here.
RTRA would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and ride, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay respect to elders past, present and emerging.
Trail bikes need Trails. RTRA was established as a voice for those who Recreate and Exercise on Two Wheels in Nature.
One of our objectives is to protect and extend quality, safer off-road riding opportunities for Western Australian recreational trail bike riders of all ages. Read more about it here.
The current regulations only allow unregistered bikes or unlicensed riders to ride within the off-road vehicle areas. This means that family riding which includes juniors, cannot be undertaken on trails where most of the best riding conditions exist.
We often ride in places that are remote, out of phone range, inaccessible to an ambulance and sometimes not even accessible to a chopper. If things go pear-shaped out there at least someone in the group needs to have the basic training to assess an injury and provide extended care for an injured rider until trained help arrives.
