Driving and Safety Instructions Tire Tracks- Always follow the tire tracks created by the guide, do not swerve or deviate from the set path. Cell Phones and Camera’s- Drivers must stow and refrain from using cell phones/cameras while their machine is moving. Standing While Riding- Do not stand fully upright while riding. Front End to Rear End Collision- To avoid a front end to rear end collision, maintain a minimum of three (3) vehicle lengths of space between vehicles. Holding Back to Speed Up- Do not increase following distances to make additional space for the purpose of speeding up. Riding Off Camber- When the machine tips to one side or the other due to the angle of the trail, lean/shift weight to the high side of the tilt. Never extend your legs/feet away from the machine. Riding on Rock: a) Firm Grip- Always keep a firm grip on the handlebars with both hands. b) Slow Controlled Climb- Never go fast or hurry when ascending on rock. Use a smooth/steady throttle and apply only enough power to move up the rock. c) Look Ahead- There will be no tire tracks on rock. Look ahead to see proper path to follow and observe the machine in front of you. Riding in Sand: a) Downhill- Do not make sharp turns. Turning should be wide, sweeping, and gradual. You may feel your steering slightly drift. b) Uphill- Momentum is the key. Allow extra space. Gain speed prior to the climb. Accelerate up the complete climb to carry momentum. Adjust speed appropriately for terrain after completion of climb. c) Sidehill- Maintain speed and momentum over top of arch. No sharp turns. If you loose momentum or feel your rear end slipping, always turn down the hill. d) Transition- when transitioning from an ascending to descending direction on a sand hill, keep throttle steady and do not attempt to spin the back tires of the machine you are driving. Reality Check ‘Overconfidence’- Remember your skill level. Always ride the way you know how, not the way you ‘think’ you know how. Injuries and equipment damage are the results of riding overconfident. **THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE REVIEWED WITH YOU IN PERSON BY YOUR GUIDE AT THE BEGINING OF YOUR TOUR -Once you have read the Driving and Safety Instructions, please initial |
