- FIVE-ASIDE: Keep five points of contact; feet, hands and bottom. If a rider keeps a good/positive riding position they are able to control the bike more easily.
- LEGS-UP: The riders’ feet must remain on the footplates at all times. If they try to steady the bike with their feet, it will be pulled as the feet can become caught by the rear wheels.
- STAY COOL: If the rider is tense it will translate to the bike and become harder to ride. It also increases muscle fatigue in the arms.
- FRONT-UP: Basically, it’s the opposite of motorway driving where you look way ahead. On a quad, look no further than your nose. Riders need to adjust their body position according to the terrain they are about to cross. By looking just in front they can do this.
- LOW LIFE: Keeping a low body position on the bike keeps the centre of gravity lower and makes the bike more stable.
