โI started the day on the Sportsman 800 and we headed out into the woods on some fire trails. I was a little tentative at first, but I managed to squeeze the throttle enough to reach about 45 miles an hour. [...] Being a standard saddle-mount ATV compared to the side-by-side Ranger RZR and Ranger XP, the Sportsman has a much different feel. By shifting my weight I found I had more control, especially on side-hills. [...] While riding down a very steep, rocky decent I decided to tackle the biggest rock I could find. When the rock got to my rear right tire, I started to feel the Sportsman tip over to the left. Fortunately, I was able to throw my weight to the right side, squeezed the throttle and escaped with little more than a bruised ego.โ
โThis was actually my first experience riding an ATV. I was very hesitant after hearing the multiple horror stories about riding an ATV in Mexico, but was determined to ride anyway. We rode in a group of six, with two instructors and four tourists. Of the tourists, I was the only one who did not know how to ride an ATV. The instructions were very fast and limited, as I had no idea what to do. I felt very uncomfortable with switching gears, so I left the gears in 4 the whole time. [...] The tour took tight and fast turns, which scared me at first, but after getting the hang of things, I felt more comfortable. [...] The attendants provided us handkerchiefs for the dust โ otherwise we would have been breathing straight dirt!โ
