If you are sitting behind the wheel of a snowmobile for the first time, it is best to start mastering the technique in an open space where there are no obstacles. Emotions will be over the edge in any case, and this way you will be able to feel the power and speed, learn to maneuver.

Jet skiing (aka water motorcycle/bike/scooter/aquabike) is rapidly gaining popularity in our waters. The number of accidents on the water related to this type of transport is also rapidly growing. In order not to become part of the statistics, take care of your safety.

Recommended equipment:

– wetsuit

– safety shoes (hydroboots)

– goggles – gloves

– life jacket

Before getting behind the wheel of a jet ski, the driver must:

– learn to swim well;

– register the purchased jet ski with the relevant government agencies

– study the jet ski operating instructions

Elements of professional equipment:

– Head protection

– Equipment

– Accessories

Head protection is probably the most important part of proper equipment. Anything can happen while riding, so maximum head protection should be taken care of first and foremost.

A helmet is a very important element of rider protection, it helps protect the head from serious injuries. Hard riding is always hot, so choose a helmet with a good ventilation system, so you will be comfortable riding in summer and winter.

Choosing a helmet that suits you is a whole science. We advise you to at least rely on the opinion of an experienced friend or seller.

Goggles. We love to ride hard through mud and swamps. During such rides, pieces of clay and branches, drops of water, stones and dust fly into the face and eyes, and this is unsafe. And it is especially unsafe when we are pushing a stuck ATV. In such situations, glasses help protect the eyes. If you are not a fan of glasses built into the helmet, motocross glasses will do.

Jersey, shirt or T-shirt, shorts, simple jeans or overalls, sneakers or rubber boots – sometimes you can see riders in such clothes. But it is not at all suitable for hard riding, and we know how many severe obstacles there are on the off-road.

1. Warm up the engine.

2. Ride it, changing speed. This is necessary for the piston rings to rub in over the entire range of travel.

3.Check the condition of the ATV, inspect the ATV, adjust the tire pressure to 0.5–0.8 atmospheres

Everything is simple here, the snow should be no less than mid-ankle (15-20 cm), and better knee-deep. The more snow, the lower the probability of damage to the equipment. The fact is that the snowmobile moves with the help of a track, which moves along special plastic guides. For normal operation, water must flow to them, which acts as a lubricant. If there is no water, the track will stick to the guides and the equipment will fail. Also, do not forget about cooling – the radiators are on the footboards and snow should fall on them to avoid overheating of the engine. Therefore, even when moving on rolled paths, you need to sometimes drive into the snow.

– When you get behind the snowmobile for the first time, before starting the engine, take a comfortable position, study the controls. Everything is the same as with a car.

– When driving, keep your arms extended on the steering wheel. Yes, it may seem uncomfortable, but this way you will have better control of the equipment.

– Your feet should be on special footrests. This will protect you from injury and will allow you to better control the equipment during maneuvers.

– On the right handlebar, under your thumb, there is a gas lever. The brake lever is similarly located on the left. If you do not want the snowmobile to fly out from under you or you yourself to fly off it, then do not press sharply, at first do all actions smoothly and without haste.

– When you have mastered the controls, you can start the engine and start moving. On your first trip, do not accelerate too much and do not make abrupt maneuvers, first master simple maneuvers. Experience will come gradually with practice.

With large wheels and mud tires. The larger the wheels, the easier it is to drive off-road. A powerful tread with lugs allows the ATV to get out of puddles or deep ruts. Mud tires are durable, so they do not cut on stones or get punctured by branches.

Power from 60 hp. The larger the wheels of the ATV, the more force the engine needs to apply to rotate them. The task becomes more difficult when mud, grass and algae stick to them. Therefore, engines for all-terrain ATVs are made powerful.

Weight up to 400-500 kg. A light ATV falls into the mud less. Even if it gets stuck, it can be pushed out without outside help. But heavy equipment will have to be pulled out with a winch or another ATV.

With all-wheel drive, low gear and differential lock. Thanks to them, the ATV moves confidently through mud, deep ruts, can overcome small logs and steep climbs.
