1. Shift your body weight as far back
on the seat as possible.
2. Keep it in a low gear; stay out of

Sidehilling/Traversing
Sidehilling is considered an advanced
skill; it's really tricky and unpredict-
able. So, whether your skills are
advanced or not, try to avoid this kind
of riding. If you're in a situation where
you absolutely have to sidehill, follow
this method:

1. Keep your speed low and consis-
tent.
2. Shift all your body weight to the
uphill side of the seat; also, sup-
port your weight on the uphill
footrest.

3. Steer like you're driving into the
hill.
4. If the ATV feels like it's tipping,
turn the handlebar downhill. If
that's not possible because of the
terrain or other conditions or if it
just doesn't work, stop and get off.
Dismount the ATV on the uphill
side.
Swerving
Swerving is usually an emergency
reaction to avoid an obstacle but is sim-
ilar to quick turns. The difference is
that quick turns involve slight accelera-
tion in the turn; don't accelerate if you
swerve.
