In this article we will discuss various tips and rules for riding an ATV that could help you out in a bad situation, or preferably help you prevent one from happening in the first place. To start off, lets touch on one of the most important and obvious rules of ATV riding; never ride under the nfluence of alcohol or any other drugs. This may seem like a no brainer, but it is extremely important. When you ride an ATV you must be completely aware of what you are doing, otherwise you are putting yourself and others in danger.
Also, never show off or mess around while riding your ATV, and don't try to ride trails that are beyond your ability, because you may get hurt. This is especially true for beginning riders. You may feel the need to be adventurous and immediately explore harsher terrain, but wait until you are ready for it. Becoming a skilled ATV rider takes time and experience. If you rush into a situation you can't handle, you could seriously hurt yourself. Take the time to know and understand your ATV, and ride with experienced riders as often as you can. In no time you will build the experience and knowledge needed to handle the more intense trails.
Another important tip for riding your ATV is to respect the land and environment. Do not go off of your trail, do not harm the land, and do not litter. In fact, it's a nice gesture to pick up any litter that you see, if possible. If you want to keep experiencing the beauty of nature, then it is in your best interest to keep it clean. Also, don't blast any loud music from your ATV while on a trail. This can be very distracting and it ruins the peaceful nature experience for others. Always remember to be courteous to all other riders on the trail, and be respectful as possible. Have fun riding your ATV, and remember to be safe.
