RIDING DOWNHILL
When riding your ATV downhill, shift your weight as far to the rear and uphill side of the ATV as pos- sible. Move back on the seat and sit with your arms straight. Improper braking may cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a hill with loose or slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may be adversely affected by these surfaces. Improper braking may also cause a loss of traction.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight down- hill. Avoid sharp angles which could allow the ATV to tip or roll over. Carefully choose your path and ride no faster than you will be able to react to ob-
stacles which may appear.
