1. Shift your body weight and passen-
ger's body weight as far back on the
seat as possible.
2. Keep it in a gear; stay out of neutral.
3. Lightly apply the brake and ease up
on the throttle.
Sidehilling/Traversing
Sidehilling is considered an advanced
skill; it's really tricky and unpredictable.
So, whether your skills are advanced or
not, try to avoid this kind of riding. If
you're in a situation where you abso-
lutely have to sidehill, follow this
method:
1. Keep your speed low and consistent.
2. Shift all your body weight and pas-
senger's body weight to the uphill
side of the seat; also, support 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. Have the pas-
senger dismount on the uphill side
first; then you should dismount on
the uphill side.
Swerving
Swerving is usually an emergency reac-
tion to avoid an obstacle but is similar to
quick turns. The difference is that quick
turns involve slight acceleration in the
turn; don't accelerate if you swerve.
