ACTIVE RIDING
SWERVING
Swerving is an emergency maneuver required to avoid an ob-
stacle, but is similar in action to a quick turn. Swerving differs
as a quick turn involves slight acceleration during the turn. Do
not accelerate if you swerve to maintain better control of your
ATV. If you are in a situation where you feel you must swerve
your ATV, use this riding method:
1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the obstacle
2. Turn the handlebar, and at the same time, shift your weight
and balance as you swerve. Using the principles of leaning,
weight shifting, and balancing,shift your body weight to the
inside of the turn
3. Avoid using the brakes until the obstacle avoidance swerve
is complete and you have regained full control of your ATV
