7-38
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide
sideways, control can usually be regained (if
there is room to do so) by steering in the direc-
tion of the slide. Applying the brakes or accel-
erating is not recommended until you have
corrected the slide.
With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be developed. The ter-
rain should be chosen carefully before at-
tempting such maneuvers, since both stability
and control are reduced. Bear in mind that
sliding maneuvers should always be avoided
on extremely slippery surfaces such as ice,
since all control may be lost.
