method for sharp turns:

2. Use the principles of leaning, weight shifting, and balancing: shift your body
weight to the inside of the turn.
3. You may have to lean into the turn more than you do in a wide turn.
4. If shifting your weight and balance are not enough to keep the ATV tires on the
ground, straighten out the handlebars as much as you can.
