1. Ease off the throttle as you
approach the obstacle.
2. Turn the handlebar. At the same
time, shift your weight and bal-
ance as you swerve. Use the prin-
ciples of leaning, weight shifting,
and balancing—shift your body
weight to the inside of the turn.
3. Keep your hand off the brake until
the emergency is over and you’re
back in control.
Crossing Obstacles
Crossing obstacles is risky; avoid it if
possible. Riding over logs, rocks, and
ruts means combining all the active rid-
ing skills into one big motion. Your
ATV will respond differently for differ-
ent obstacles (logs, ruts, etc.), but these
are general guidelines for overcoming
two-track (both tires contacting the
obstacle at the same time) obstacles:
ATV-0016
ATV-0026
ATV-0027
1. Keep your speed way down; less
than 5 mph.
2. Approach the obstacle head-on.
3. Come up off the seat.
4. Keep your weight on the footrests.
5. Apply a little throttle when the
front tires make contact with the
obstacle.
6. Lean forward and release the throt-
tle when the front tires clear the
obstacle.
7. Keep your body loose to absorb
any shock.
8. If the ATV starts tipping, shift
your weight to keep it in balance.
