1. Dress for the weather<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quad biking is an outdoor activity<\/a> that usually goes ahead whatever the weather, so it\u2019s important that you dress appropriately. Some venues may provide overalls, but we recommend wearing old clothes that you don\u2019t mind getting a bit muddy or wet in. Don\u2019t let the weather put you off, it\u2019s all part of the fun!<\/p>\n

2. Make the most of the briefing<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before heading out on the quad bikes you\u2019ll be given a full briefing, which gives you the perfect opportunity to ask our expert instructors any questions you may have. You\u2019ll also be given some time to get used to driving the quad bikes<\/a>, so make the most of the chance to build your confidence at the controls.<\/p>\n

3. Sit correctly<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sitting on the quad bike correctly will not only guarantee you a comfortable ride, it also helps when it comes to negotiating off-road obstacles such as bumps and hills. Try to sit up straight, look ahead and grip the quad bike with your knees. A relaxed riding position will help you no end.<\/p>\n

4. Keep your eyes open<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your eyes on the trail at all times, as even the slightest lapse in concentration can lead to a costly mistake. Branches, stumps and rocks are all obstacles you should keep your eyes peeled for.<\/p>\n
