4FR Toyota Trucks/GreenerAcres.org Helmet Safety Program

CULVER, Ind. (July 7, 2009) - The 4FR Toyota Trucks/GreenerAcres.org team made a special visit to Culver Elementary School recently to express the importance of safety gear for the coming summer activities. Students were shown the safety gear worn by motorcycle racers and how helmets and pads can make their summer more enjoyable by preventing injury.

The environment was another focal point showing that we do not have to give up our activities, just try to make the environmentally friendly choice when there is an option. The students were treated to a tour of the team semi and received posters and trading cards.

Scotty Van Hawk was on hand to answer questions about safety gear and to show the kids how cool safety can be. He also fielded questions from a very interested group of students about environmentally friendly alternatives and how they can help make the world a better place.

"We were amazed at the level of awareness that the students have about the environment," said Van Hawk. "Helmets seem to be a given for most of them when riding bikes and or skating, which is a dramatic change from the first helmet safety program that I gave over ten years ago. The kids wanted to know more about how the race team worked and how technology is applied to our sport. It is refreshing to know that there is a new generation of curious minds coming that will help shape a better world."

Four Feathers Racing would like to thank the teachers of Culver Elementary for the invitation and their hospitality.
