An\u003cbr\u003eATV is very exciting to ride, and the sense of freedom and exhilaration a rider feels is a major\u003cbr\u003edraw for repeat riders. ATVs are a sport that the entire family can enjoy. But more people are\u003cbr\u003ehurt every year riding ATVs than nearly any other recreational activity. If you are interested in\u003cbr\u003etaking part in this exciting activity, there are a few things you should know before you get\u003cbr\u003estarted.\u003cbr\u003eDon't Go it Alone\u003cbr\u003eThe first thing you should do is hit the back trails along with someone who knows what they are\u003cbr\u003edoing. This could be a friend, an ATV safety instructor, or a relative that has been riding for a\u003cbr\u003ewhile. the important thing is that you actually get to ride an ATV so you can see if you really\u003cbr\u003ewant to get one and to get a feel for the machine.\u003cbr\u003ePurchasing your first ATV\u003cbr\u003eOnce you are decided, it is time to go pick your vehicle. There are guidelines of ages and\u003cbr\u003eweights VS the class of ATVs that are recommended for operation. Use common sense here,\u003cbr\u003edon't go buy your 85 pound son the biggest monster of an ATV you can get a hold of.\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended that your first ATV be a used one. As a beginner, there will most likely be\u003cbr\u003edamage done to your first ATV while you learn the ins and outs, and learning the best\u003cbr\u003emaintenance practices are best done on an older ATV. Even if you are very careful, you still\u003cbr\u003emay wish to stick with an older machine until you are familiar enough with ATVs in general to\u003cbr\u003edecide what new machines fit you best. Everyone you talk to will have a different opinion, and\u003cbr\u003eyou don't want to buy an expensive ATV only to find out that \"that model\" is better, according to\u003cbr\u003esomeone else. It can be very easy to get caught up in the \"grass is greener\" syndrome, so stick\u003cbr\u003ewith a cheaper older ATV until you are SURE which new ATV you want is always a good idea.\u003cbr\u003eATV Made Easy\u003cbr\u003e© Wings Of Success Page 15 of 15\u003cbr\u003eLearning the Ropes\u003cbr\u003eAfter you purchase your first ATV, it is HIGHLY recommended that you take an ATV safety and\u003cbr\u003einstruction course. These courses are usually between 2 and 4 weeks, broken up into 2-3 hour\u003cbr\u003esessions once a week. Try and get into a course where the instructor will actually take you out\u003cbr\u003eonto the trails at some point. A sport as active as ATVs can't be taught entirely in a classroom.\u003cbr\u003eSecondly, you should read the owner's manual. There is a ton of useful information, procedures,\u003cbr\u003eand explanations of parts and terminology in the manual. If you bought a used ATV, and it didn't\u003cbr\u003ecome with an owner's manual, you can usually get one from an ATV dealer that carries your\u003cbr\u003emake of ATV. Just get the serial number off your ATV, and the dealer should be able to get the\u003cbr\u003eowner's manual for you.\u003cbr\u003eLast, but not least, get out there and ride! There is truly no other way to learn how (and how not)\u003cbr\u003eto drive an ATV. Make sure you get permission from the property owner if you will be riding on\u003cbr\u003eprivate property. Be careful, especially at first. Start off slowly, and ride safely. Always ride with\u003cbr\u003emore experienced people, but in the beginning, don't try to emulate the \"fancier\" moves they\u003cbr\u003emay be capable of. Learn how to ride safely first! And never ever ride alone. This cannot be\u003cbr\u003estressed enough. Someday, you WILL roll your ATV. And unless you are a bodybuilder, you will\u003cbr\u003eprobably need help getting your ATV upright again. This goes double if you get injured.\u003cbr\u003eRules to Play By\u003cbr\u003eBy following these simple guidelines, you will be out and having a blast with this exciting sport in\u003cbr\u003eno time. As with most things in life, you cannot jump in and expect to be an expert. Always ride\u003cbr\u003ewith someone more experienced than you, take the time to complete the safety courses, and\u003cbr\u003eread your manual. Get out there as often as you feel like and tear up those trails! Practicing\u003cbr\u003edriving your ATV IS the fun of driving an ATV. Following these rules will help insure that you\u003cbr\u003eenjoy many years of enjoyment and fun on your ATV.\u003cbr\u003eATV Made Easy\u003cbr\u003e© Wings Of Success Page 16 of 16\u003cbr\u003eATVs And Land Usage\u003cbr\u003eEver since they were first introduced, ATVs have been an extremely popular form of recreation.\u003cbr\u003eThere is nothing quite like the exhilarating feeling you get when zooming through the woods on\u003cbr\u003ea narrow back trail. The original 3 wheeled ATV was quite unstable and unsafe, but that didn't\u003cbr\u003edampen people's enthusiasm one bit. The four wheeler introduced later is much more stable\u003cbr\u003eand safe, but still isn't without its risks. Other concerns have been raised over the legal driving\u003cbr\u003eage for ATVs, with some states setting it as other vehicles, and others setting no limits at all. But\u003cbr\u003eprobably the single biggest point of contention that has arisen is over land-usage rights and\u003cbr\u003eexactly where and when...","brand":"Laiftllc.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083744755952,"sku":"2940014371520","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014371520_p0.jpg?v=1763607266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014371520","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
