Respecting Nature as you ride: It is always important to respect the property you are riding on whether it is private or public land. Here are some tips to remember while riding your OHV:· On slick trails, moderate the throttle to gain maximum traction with minimum tailspin. · On switchbacks, avoid roosting around the apex of the turn when climbing or brake sliding while heading down which gouges the trail. · When negotiating ruts, stay loose over the OHV to allow for sudden direction changes. · Keep the noise and dust down. Others will appreciate it. · Stay on designated roads and trails or other areas open for use. · Avoid scaring livestock you encounter. · Cross streams at fording points only. · Remember, designated wilderness areas are reserved for the most primitive outdoor adventure. Respect the environment and other trail users, by using common sense and common courtesy. What is available today will be here to enjoy tomorrow.
