RIDING YOUR ATV
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE RIDING
Before riding, you should read all the following information carefully. If you are properly
prepared, you will have a more enjoyable ride.
Before riding, you should find a good place to practice the skills. Find a flat, open area
with enough space to practice the new skills.
Make sure that it is legal to ride in the area you selected. Review the local laws and make
sure you are not trespassing. Call the police if you don’t know where you can ride.
Protect your riding areas. When you are riding, remember to keep the terrain in good
condition. Don’t destroy plants, trees or other vegetation. Don’t litter and don’t bother
wildlife. With your help, your riding area can remain open for use in the future.
After you have found a good place to practice, review the control system on your ATV
before riding. Learn to find these controls without looking for them, because you will not
have time to look for them when you are riding.
Canadian residents must obtain, review, and follow all provincial and municipal
government acts and regulations pertaining to owning and operating an off-road vehicle.
