Riding Over Obstacles

Obstacles should be avoided when possible. Smaller obstacles may

be crossed if proper judgement and skills are utilised. Remember some

obstacles are too large and should be completely avoided, even if it

means turning around and taking a completely different path. Attempting

to cross an obstacle improperly could cause a loss of control or result in

your ATV overturning.

When crossing obstacles, follow the procedures listed in your owner's

manual for your model ATV. Keep your knees and elbows flexible. Use

your legs and arms as shock absorbers to cross obstacles more com-

fortably. Keep your elbows bent out slightly and away from your body to

retain a flexible riding posture for uneven terrain.

Mounds and ruts both act as obstacles. Be sure to stand on the

footrests for each. If only the wheel(s) on one side goes over the obsta-

cle (a single-track obstacle), be prepared to shift your weight toward the

obstacle and maintain balance as the ATV moves to one side. If there is

excessive jarring from impact, bend your knees and arms more.

Keep in mind the following tips when crossing obstacles:

• Approach obstacle as close to 90 degrees as possible, while standing

on the footrests.

• Adjust approach speed prior to the obstacle without losing momen-

tum.

• Hold handgrips firmly, with knees and elbows slightly bent and body

weight slightly back as the front wheels rise up and over the obstacle.

• As rear wheels ride over the obstacle move your body weight forward

to centre yourself on the ATV.

For two-track obstacles:

• Concentrate weight on footrests, not on handlebars.

• As the front wheels contact the obstacle apply a small amount of

throttle.

• Lean forward and release the throttle as the front wheels clear the

obstacle.

For single track (offset) obstacles:

• Use momentum to cross obstacles.

• Do not apply throttle.

• Do not pull up on handlebars or attempt to loft the front wheels.
