- Wear Gear
Always wear safety gear. Helmets, goggles, boots, gloves - the works.
There are no seatbelts on an ATV and flipping over is a lot easier than
you might think. Be prepared and go home intact.
- Inspection
Do a pre-ride inspection every time. Check the tires for wear and
rims for damage. Look over your controls and make sure connections and
cables are intact. Check the chain for worn links and sprockets for
broken teeth and ensure there's enough lubrication.
- Don't Ride Alone
Participating in any sport or activity where accidents can and do
happen, it's never a good idea to do it alone. Always have a riding
buddy and better - have two. Running out of gas, getting lost or
crashing is never any fun but it's worse and can be life threatening if
you're alone. Besides, who wants to ride by themselves? Grab some
friends and make a day of it.
