Title: Riding tips needed Post by: Sahara311 on February 05, 2006, 10:15:05 PM OK, admittedly I am a rookie..I haven't ridden an ATV since grade school. My throttle thumb gets so dang tired while riding! Any tips?
Also, anyone know of any good places to ride close to Deland? We have been riding out at St.Francis Trail, but it's getting old...

Mine used to hurt in a short time, just takes a while. My biggest advice is to stay on the quad, don't flip and hit the ground, it hurts. Look out for others coming the other way, they might not be looking for you.

Back up a little farther and hit that mother harder. This applys to any type of vehicle, not just atvs. This can be an expensive way to live but it makes for great memories.
