Title: riding tips
Post by: leadsled on November 26, 2004, 07:52:44 PM
im new to the site and also new to the atv scene. im 18 yrs old and grew up riding dirt bikes last bike i had was a cr250r honda but i sold it to buy a car but it was driving me crazy that i couldnt go rideing anymore so i decided if i was gonna buy another bike id make it a quad.so after savin up a few weeks worth of my paychecks i bought a banshee...sure most of you by know think that wasnt a smart move but i can handle it np.got everything down i think just wanted to see if anyone had any good pointers on rideing this bike besides holding on for dear life. figure my weakest spot is my cornering because i think i am positioning my arms wrong when making turns. but if anyone has any advice on riding this bike or just atv's plz let me know thanks....kyle ;D

Slide your butt off the seat and over to the fender (the inside fender of the way you are turning) when your are taking a tight corner

Watch some quads race on a circle track. most of the time their butt is almost sitting on the nerf bar

Well you just got to feel the bike and show it who's boss.  You really want to lean on the turns like on TT tracks those guys get on their nerf bars on the turns so they dont get on 2 wheels.  If your just riding slow you dont have to move around that much just really watch out on sharp turns they like to go on 2 wheels.  Anyways hows your Banshee running?? And what year is it?

if you armorall your seat and you have someone on the back of your bike and you take off fast or turn sharp they go right off its hilarious

but anyways..
wear your helmet  lean into turns and try to slide your back end out a little
