Motocross
Tracks get built where land is cheap and neighbors are few. That's rarely near a Level I trauma center.
Action Hub
Free preparation guides and planning tools for the sports we're built around — no membership required to use them.
Not just when you're riding.
GME ACTION benefits apply to a qualifying serious illness or injury — not only to injuries that happen while you're riding. The action sports you do are covered rather than excluded, and the membership stays with you on the road, on vacation and in everyday life, subject to the Member Agreement.
Tracks, trails, deserts and dual-sport miles.
Tracks get built where land is cheap and neighbors are few. That's rarely near a Level I trauma center.
Enduro is measured in hours between checkpoints. A rider down deep in a loop is a long extraction.
Desert and forest riding puts real hours between the incident and pavement, before a hospital is even in the picture.
Four wheels, closed courses and open desert.
Side-by-sides carry passengers, and passenger injuries are where the transport logistics multiply fast.
ATV riding happens on private land and forest roads that ambulances often can't reach directly.
Circuits are built outside town. A driver who needs specialized care may need a flight, not a drive.
Descents, dirt jumps, parks and pavement.
The best descents are the furthest from a road. That's exactly why extraction takes so long.
Sessions run late and travel far for nationals. Being away from home is the part people don't plan for.
Skate trips end up in other cities. An injury there is a logistics problem, not just a medical one.
Resort laps, sidecountry and storm days.
Mountain towns have clinics. Specialized trauma care is usually down the valley or over a pass.
The best snow is where the roads are worst. That combination is what makes transport slow.
Reefs, rivers, lakes and open coast.
Surf travel is the definition of far from care — remote coast, foreign hospitals, long flights.
Getting a patient off the water and to a road is a whole stage of rescue that doesn't exist on land.
Trailheads, walls, long days and remote miles.
Wilderness rescue is measured in hours and teams, not minutes and ambulances.
Runners cover more ground than anyone expects — and end up a long way from the trailhead alone.
A vertical rescue is a technical operation before a medical one, and crags are rarely roadside.
Adventure travel combines every distance problem at once: remote, unfamiliar, and often international.
