Leaning, Weight Shift, and
Balance
When you turn, the trick is to move for-
ward 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 lift-
ing, and make the turn wider if possible.

Wide Turns

About 20% of ATV accidents happen
during turns. If you don't understand
turning techniques, it's easy for the ATV
to get away from you by losing traction,
plowing, or tipping. Use this method for
