8 Safety Tips for ATV Riding
We've put together 8 Quick Safety Tips for ATV Trail Riding as a way to remind and educate you when you're blazing around on your quad.
Wear Gear • Always wear safety gear. Helmets, goggles, boots, gloves - the works. There are no seatbelts on an ATV and flipping over is a lot easier than you might think.
Inspection • Do a pre-ride inspection every time. Check the tires for wear and rims for damage. Look over your controls and make sure connections and cables are intact.
Don't Ride Alone • Participating in any sport or activity where accidents can and do happen, it's never a good idea to do it alone.
No Drinking and Riding • Duh. It's not safe in a car and it's not safe on an ATV. It's no secret alcohol and drugs impair your judgment and your ability to ride safely.
Tired? Stop Riding • ATV riding is actually a great way to exercise. It demands strength and mental acuity. Overtime however, those bumps, jumps and tight corners wear down even the strongest dudes.
One Rider Only • Don't be a goon. Unless you're riding an ATV equipped for twopeople, in which case you're probably on a UTV and not screaming through trails, only one person on a quad at any time.
Ride on Designated Trails •
Don't ride your ATV anywhere but a designated riding area. Not only is this for the safety of others and prevents unnecessary wear and tear to your machine, but it's also being a good steward of the sport. Ride where it's legal.
Ride the Right ATV • What's the right ATV? As a general rule, only 90cc and larger engines for those 16 years and older. Don't pop your 10 year old on a 250cc ATV.
