Overview
“Active Riding” involves an understanding of how your body weight,
balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of the ATV.
For example, when you drive a car quickly into a sharp turn, your
body is pulled to the outside of the turn by centrifugal force. Although
a car is relatively stable, enough centrifugal force can cause an ATV
to overturn. Constantly shifting your weight is one major difference
between driving a car and riding an ATV. Knowing how to shift your
weight is necessary to avoid rolling or fl ipping the ATV.
Basic Operating Maneuvers
Active riding and basic maneuvers are the foundation of your ATV
ride. Without basic skills, it’s impossible to move to this level— active

• Mounting the ATV • Braking / Stopping
• Starting the Engine • Shifting

• Varying Temperature Adjustments • Dismounting the ATV
