Active Riding

Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance
When you turn, the trick is to move forward and slide over to the side
of the seat that's on the inside of the turn. Support your body weight
on the outside footrest. At the same time, lean your body to the inside
of the turn. Pay attention to the handling - if you feel the tires coming
off the ground, reduce speed, shift more of your body weight to the
side that's lifting, and make the turn wider if possible.

Wide Turns
About 20% of ATV accidents happen during turns. If you don't under-
stand turning techniques, it's easy for the ATV to get away from you by
losing traction, plowing, or tipping. Use this method for wide turns:
1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down.
2. Use the principles of leaning, weight shifting, and balancing- shift
your body weight to the inside of the turn.
3. Gradually increase your speed as you come out of the turn.
