Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the
turning maneuvers again. Be sure you are
putting your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn. Position your weight
over the front wheels for better control.

If your ATV begins to tip while turning:

forward speed. If not, stop, dismount on
the uphill side of the ATV and physically
turn the ATV around.

If the ATV starts to slip backwards DO NOT
USE THE REAR BRAKE - the ATV may tip
over backwards on top of you.

If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:

(if there are no obstacles in your way) to
regain balance.
