ATV Basics - Learn How to Get the Most Out of Your ATV

After you purchase your first ATV, it is HIGHLY recommended that you take an ATV safety and instruction course. These courses are usually between 2 and 4 weeks, broken up into 2-3 hour sessions once a week. Try and get into a course where the instructor will actually take you out onto the trails at some point. A sport as active as ATVs can't be taught entirely in a classroom.

Secondly, you should read the owner's manual. There is a ton of useful information, procedures, and explanations of parts and terminology in the manual. If you bought a used ATV, and it didn't come with an owner's manual, you can usually get one from an ATV dealer that carries your make of ATV. Just get the serial number off your ATV, and the dealer should be able to get the owner's manual for you.

Last, but not least, get out there and ride! There is truly no other way to learn how (and how not) to drive an ATV. Make sure you get permission from the property owner if you will be riding on private property. Be careful, especially at first. Start off slowly, and ride safely. Always ride with more experienced people, but in the beginning, don't try to emulate generic drugs without prescription the "fancier" moves they may be capable of. Learn how to ride safely first! And never ever ride alone. This cannot be stressed enough. Someday, you WILL roll your ATV. And unless you are a bodybuilder, you will probably need help getting your ATV upright again. This goes double if you get injured.
