How to Be Safe on an All Terrain Vehicle
All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) can be really fun for off-road racing and riding around. But, precautions must be taken.
[edit] Steps
- Be alert for anything your ATV can trip on. The places you will be riding generally won't be as well-kept as the roads, so be careful.
- Pay attention to weather conditions. Floods and rain cause poor traction, and in snow you may sink. Getting a strong headwind while riding fast cound cause you to flip over.
- Never brake suddenly. The momentum could throw you forward and lead to possible injury.
- Wear proper clothing and a helmet for protection.
[edit] Tips
- Only start taking jumps when you feel comfortable. Start doing bigger and bigger jumps.
- Four-wheeled ATVs have much better balance than three-wheeled ones.
