Riding Downhill
Success in riding downhill depends on
how well you know your brakes—take
it easy on them, or you could flip over.
ATV-205
1. Shift your body weight as far back
on the seat as possible.
2. Keep it in a low range; 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 unpredict-
able. So, whether your skills are
advanced or not, try to avoid this kind
of riding. If you’re in a situation where
you absolutely have to sidehill, follow
this method:
ATV-0017
ATV-0028
ATV-0029
1. Keep your speed low and consistent.
2. Shift all your body weight to the
uphill side of the seat; also, sup-
port your 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. Dis-
mount the ATV on the uphill side.
