Northern Response Training

We’re building some VERY realistic crash scenarios for our motorbike courses…

And we need your help 👇

We’re looking for:
🧥 Old riding gear (jackets, pants, gloves)
🪖 Helmets past their use
🩹 Anything we can safely “destroy” for training
and old non salvageable motorbikes

Why?

Because training on clean mannequins isn’t real life.

We want people training with:
✔ Torn gear
✔ Blood simulation
✔ Realistic crash setups

If you’ve got old gear sitting in the shed — we’ll happily take it off your hands

MYTH: “Just tell people once and they’ll remember.”

Reality?

Not how people work — especially under stress.

We’ve seen it in our own family — people don’t all learn the same way.

It’s changed how we teach:

✔ Keep it simple
✔ Make it hands-on
✔ Repeat what matters
✔ Train for real situations

Because when things go wrong, people don’t remember lectures.

They remember what they’ve practiced.

That’s how we run our courses.

This month we’ve been doing a few kilometres — travelling everywhere from Balaklava (such a lovely town) down to the Parafield area, delivering training wherever we’re needed… including turning this Pilates studio into a temporary CPR classroom.

Across primary schools, high schools, Pilates studios, construction sites and public courses, this month we’ve trained around 170 students in life-saving skills.

Turns out CPR mannequins are welcome just about anywhere… although they’re still not very good at Pilates.

We’re proud to keep showing up across the north and surrounding communities — helping build confidence, skills, and a few laughs along the way.

True question we got asked this month at a school:

“What do you do if you get bitten by a snake… on the butt?” 🐍

(Yes — bush wee situation 😅)

Answer:
👉 Stay calm (hard, but important)
👉 Apply pressure immobilisation bandage
👉 Keep still — movement spreads venom
👉 Get help ASAP

And maybe… check where you squat first 👀

We cover real-life, slightly awkward scenarios like this in our training — because injuries don’t wait for perfect situations.

When a rider goes down, the first person on scene is usually another rider.

Most motorcycle crashes don’t happen near hospitals. They happen on country roads, in the hills, or on rides with mates.

Knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make a real difference.

Our Motorcycle First Aid course focuses on the situations riders may actually encounter, including:

• Managing a crash scene
• Helmet removal considerations
• Severe bleeding, pelvic and spinal injuries
• Caring for a rider until emergency services arrive

The training includes hands-on practical skills and realistic crash scenarios, not just classroom theory.

Because the first responder
is usually another rider.

While I've been working, bedtime apparently involved blowing up medical gloves and singing... 🎵"You've got to pump it up..."🎵

There is now one sitting in my chair... clearly the replacement has arrived lol
