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 wide turns:
ATV-201
1. Ease off the throttle as you
approach the turn to slow down.
2. Use the principles of leaning,
weight shifting, and balanc-
ing—shift your body weight to the
inside of the turn.
3. Gradually increase your speed as
you come out of the turn.
Sharp Turns
After mastering wide turns, practice
the advanced skill of sharp turns.
ATV-202
1. Ease off the throttle as you
approach the turn to slow down.
2. Use the principles of leaning,
weight shifting, and balanc-
ing—shift your body weight to the
inside of the turn.
3. You might have to lean into the
turn more than you do in a wide
turn.
4. If shifting your weight and balance
aren’t enough to keep the ATV
tires on the ground, straighten out
the handlebar as much as you can.
5. Gradually increase your speed as
you come out of the turn.
Quick Turns
Quick turns are the most difficult turns
and should only be done after you are
experienced with your ATV.
