Essential Safety Tips for Riding Youth ATVs

Off-roading on an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) can be a fun, exhilarating experience for the youth. While it's important to enjoy these moments, we at Tracy Motorsports, located in Tracy, California, also firmly believe in prioritizing safety. So let's dive into the basic yet essential safety tips every young ATV rider should follow!

Proper Supervision and Training

Before letting the youth hop onto their ATVs, ensure they've received adequate training. A trusted adult or an experienced rider can play a critical role in providing this training and ongoing supervision.

Importance of Wearing Safety Gear

Gear up! A helmet is mandatory and so are gloves, sturdy footwear, long pants, and eye protection. Safety gear can greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of accidents.

Regular Check-ups of ATV

Perform regular maintenance checks on your ATV to ensure every part is working as it should. This includes checking tire air pressure, brakes, and throttle controls among others.

Following Rules and Regulations

Respecting rules is paramount to safety — stick to designated trail paths designed specifically for ATVs and always pay attention to all regulatory signs posted along these trails.
