A Place to Ride

A pit of rocky dirt and mucky puddles serves as a parking lot and a place to practice your riding skills. Branching off of the pit are several long trenchous trails leading through the woods and back again. Each trail containing different twists and turns no two alike. The trails even change from day to day bringing forth new challenges due to whatever the weather has been. Wind causing fallen trees and heavy debris, rain causing deep puddles to sink into and snow coating the paths. Riding on an ATV through theses trails can be fun and challenging no matter your skill level. An ATV consists of four wheels and five gears to go through. You can test your speed out on the open dirt roads known as fire roads. Fireroads are fun to go fast becasue they are much wider then the trails and don't have as many obstacles. They can either lead you to trails or you can ride them up to the mountain top. Going though the tails on an ATV you ride slower then when you are on the fireroads and you ride on a much narrower trail. Usually on both sides of you your surrounded by tall trees, that shelter you from the rain on rainy days. In some cases the challenge of the trails is to keep all four wheels on the ground, you can get into spots that make you feel like your going to tip over. That only happens when you climb over a large rock and a wrong angle or you get stuck an old tree root. For the most part if you use good jugement and choose the right path for yourslef you can began to master trail riding.
