Texas Tech Daze: FIRST AID use/application as it relates to Motorcyclists

Looking to put together a winter TECH DAZE for:

 

FIRST AID use/application as it relates to motorcycle accidents.

 

The idea is to provide a class that allows for RED CROSS FIRST AID training & certification/re-certification with additional emphesis on rendering such aid at the scene of a motorcycle accident.

 

I was planning on getting my first aid training current when it dawned on me I wasn't all that sure what I needed to know in order to actually apply first aid if someone went down on a saturday "pie run". blush.gif

 

Did some homework & discovered this is an acknowledged issue. Am trying to combine First aid training with applying that training in a motorcycle-related incident.

 

If enough folks are interested, will put together a class in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of N. Texas.

 

Right now, pls. PM me or use this post to express an interest; we actually have Jamie and a few other Board members who teach this exact course!! thumbsup.gif

 

Would like to see this happen; another great reason to get together! clap.gif

It will depend on a lot of other things, so set the date and I'll do my best.

 

If you can get Seth(smiller) to show up I'll be there for sure.

I crashed on the way to the last one (at Limecreek's.) But if I do it again on the way to this gig at least it would be productive as you guys could use me as a first aid dummy. I'll try to make it Mike (but I'll probably always be standing to the left of Whip.) grin.gif

Before I could commit I would like to know what to expect as far as length of course. Is this an all day course, half day, etc. Dates would be important as I work a lot of Saturdays. I am "interested" and think the class would be a good idea.

Hi Terry,

 

Not looking for "commitment" at this time, only trying to gage interest. None of us are able to announce "IN" until the details are posted, so you're absolutely right!

 

In fact, one of the reasons we're drumming up potential interested parties ( grin.gif couldn't resist the phrase) is to draw on that group to decide some of the details!!

 

So, "interested"

ADIFW (Angel) (Thanks)

 

Thanks thumbsup.gif

Sorry for the late reply, but count this as me being "interested". I'm fairly flexible on a time and duration, so whatever works for everyone else is groovy. thumbsup.gif

O.K.; time for an update.

 

When is starting to look like March or April on a weekend day; main reason is lots of folks say they want to be able to ride in for it.

 

More specifically, it is directly related to who the

instructor will be & their scheduled openings.

 

Where is still the Dallas/Ft. Worth area unless someone has a better opportunity.

 

Remember, we're trying to make this a "recognized" First Aid Training session with the emphasis on use/application as it applys to motorcycle accident scenes. In other words, you take the course, you get a card that says you took the course and, if possible, we train a few to go on to other places & do the same thing.

 

We may end up with a lot less then that but that's the goal. BTW, one of our members has already offered to fly someone in to do the training; the interest in this course continues to grow.

 

Right now we'll looking for qualified instructors; seems to me Jamie, Phil and a few others may qualify. Sure would like to hear from any interested (qualified) Board members!

 

Please feel free to voice an opinion on March or April you'd prefer to do this!!

 

Lastly, thanks for all the interest & offers of help; together we'll get this done!

From the first post:

 

The idea is to provide a class that allows for RED CROSS FIRST AID training & certification/re-certification with additional emphesis on rendering such aid at the scene of a motorcycle accident.

 

Just for planning purposes, if you were at all interested in coaxing me out to teach the class, I'm no longer "Red Cross certified" and the classes I've been teaching are a full day with specific emphasis just on motorcyclists (i.e. your riding buddy is down in the middle of nowhere--where do you start, how do you prioritize, and what do you do? blush.gif )

This is looking very interesting. I see three ASMI instructors in Texas, but two of them are in the Houston area. Watching this thread too!

 

(I already have two classes going in February.)

Pending eventual shift change, I might be available the 29th (and 28th) of March, but I'd have to leave for home on Sunday the 30th. lurker.gif

Personally, I'd be interested in motorcycle-specific subject material more than the card so I wouldn't care at all whether the class was officially certified or not. In fact if certification required a syllabus with a bunch of unrelated material I'd consider that undesirable. If both can be fully accommodated in one day, great, otherwise...

 

and the classes I've been teaching are a full day with specific emphasis just on motorcyclists (i.e. your riding buddy is down in the middle of nowhere--where do you start, how do you prioritize, and what do you do?)
And that's what I'd be interested in. thumbsup.gif

 

Maybe just me, but FWIW...

I think we're all on the same page. We talked about the cert vs targeted content over lunch a few weeks ago ... it sounded like most all of us are in sync on what we want to get out of the session.

O.K. The "Texas Tech Daze: First Aid use/application at Motorcycle Accident Scenes" is scheduled for:

 

SATURDAY, MARCH 29th.

 

Chief Instructor is our own extremely qualified (more on that later) Jamie Edmonds; Leslie Edmonds is a comin' too!! clap.gifclap.gif

 

That means quality instruction & plenty of hugs & smiles are heading to Texas. thumbsup.gif

 

Details will follow (exact time, place, etc.); for now, wanted to get the date out there for scheduling purposes.

 

Looking for a head count so if you can make it, please let us know.

 

Thanks all for your patience!

Okay, the bike's back together so I'm thinking toward doing this. End of March in and out of the mid-west can still be a bit dicey, but what the heck, first venture out of town for the year! 550 miles (more-or-less) in a day = Doable.

 

Mike - Post or PM me with some motel options please. No fleabags but inexpensive. (Or where in the city you are.)

UPDATE:

 

Finally!! Received confirmation on request to reserve space for March 29th.!! clap.gif Here is the location we'll be using for the day:

 

HIGHLAND SHORES COMMUNITY CENTER

#1 Community Center Dr.

Highland Village, Texas 75077

 

It's located about 1/2 mile from the intersection of Highland Village Rd. (New Fire Station on the corner) & Highland Shores Blvd. (actually fronts on this street).

 

Other Points of interest:

 

** Current plan is to set up "classroom" style, using their table & chairs. Also, full kitchen facilities available as well so lunch is planned for on sight.

 

** Doors will open (can't get into the building before 9:00 a.m. the day of our meeting) at 9:30 a.m., with the meeting tentatively scheduled to run from 10:00 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. ( if Instructor KMG 365 agrees), with lunch & breaks in-between . Anyone who shows up before 9:00 a.m. can help set up!! smile.gif Coffee, water, donuts sodas etc. will be available.

 

** Important things left to do with input appreciated:

 

-Lunch menu options

-Notify everyone it's Jamie Edmond's Birthday that very day for folks that may want to stick around for whatever happens next! (Guess we just did that. wink.gif)

-Location of local places to stay.

-Start firming up the headcount

 

Lastly, could use a couple "volunteers".

 

My two-finger typing style means I better get this posted asap!! More to follow!!
