RIDING DOWNHILL
When riding your ATV downhill, shift your weight
as far to the rear and uphill side of the ATV as
possible. Move back on the seat and sit with
your arms straight. Choose a low gear which will
allow the engine compression to do most of the
braking for you. Improper braking may cause a
loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a hill with loose or
slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction
may be adversely affected by these surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of trac-
tion.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles which could allow
the ATV to tip or roll over. Carefully choose your
path and ride no faster than you will be able to
react to obstacles which may appear.
