straight. Improper braking may cause a loss of

slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may
be adversely affected by these surfaces. Improper
braking may also cause a loss of traction.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight down-

to tip or roll over. Carefully choose your path and
ride no faster than you will be able to react to ob-
