I feel like it's definitely one of those things that you need to learn when you're younger or you'll injure yourself if you pick it up when you're older lol. Like gymnastics or boxing. Ya motorcycles are dangerous but offroad is less likely to kill you because of the lower speed, plenty of opportunity to get injured though if you go over your ability. The risk is much more in other drivers than yourself unless you're doing purposely dangerous shit beyond your abilities.
