Making Quick Stops on a Turn

Set up the course you used for braking in a turn. Place markers #3 and #4 ahead and several feet to either side of #2. Practice the turns by accelerating through the gears in the straightaway, downshifting at the turns (marker #2), and coming to a smooth stop at #3 or #4.

• Start from the first marker in second gear. Turn toward marker #3 or #4 after you pass marker #2 on the outside.
• After passing #3 or #4, stop as quickly as you can while downshifting into first gear.
• If you feel your ATV swerving to one side, center your body on the machine and look where you want to go.
• If the rear end skids, ease up on the rear brake and shift into a lower gear.
• If the front end slides or skids, apply less front brake pressure.
