Sharp Turns
After mastering wide turns, practice the
advanced skill of sharp 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. You might have to lean into the turn
more than you do in a wide turn.
4. If shifting your weight and balance
aren’t enough to keep the ATV tires
on the ground, straighten out the han-
dlebar as much as you can.
5. Gradually increase your speed as you
come out of the turn.
K-Turns
Use K-turns if you accidentally stall
while riding uphill; you need to take
action before the ATV rolls backward
down the hill.

1. Stop where you are, apply the brakes,
and shift to neutral.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Keep your body weight shifted for-
ward.
