CROSSING A SLOPE
Traversing a sloping surface on your ATV re-
quires you to properly position your weight to
maintain proper balance. Be sure that you
have learned the basic riding skills on flat
ground before attempting to cross a sloping
surface. Avoid slopes with slippery surfaces or
rough terrain that may upset your balance.
As you travel across a slope, lean your body in
the uphill direction. It may be necessary to cor-
rect the steering when riding on loose surfaces
by pointing the front wheels slightly uphill.
When riding on slopes be sure not to make
sharp turns either up or down hill.
