Active Riding Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance When you turn, the trick is to move forward and slide over to the side of the seat that’s on the inside of the turn. Support your body weight on the outside footrest. At the same time, lean your body to the inside of the turn. Pay attention to the handling - if you feel the tires coming off the ground, reduce speed, shift more of your body weight to the side that’s lifting, and make the turn wider if possible. Wide Turns ATV-0013 ATV-0024 ATV-0025 About 20% of ATV accidents happen during turns. If you don’t under- stand turning techniques, it’s easy for the ATV to get away from you by losing traction, plowing, or tipping.
Use this method for wide turns: 1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down. 2. Use the principles of leaning, weight shifting, and balancing- shift your body weight to the inside of the turn. 3. Gradually increase your speed as you come out of the turn.
