How to start your first UTV ride with your beginner UTV

Ready to be dirty

Riding a UTV is a dirty job, because it rolls over the terrain and can stir up dust, mud, rocks, and other debris. If you cross a muddy puddle or creek, be prepared to be splashed with water - this is not the time to wear beautiful clothes. You also need to make sure to cover and store any delicate electronic products and personal items while riding, because dirt and dust will be everywhere, and splashing pebbles may damage the screen of your phone or camera.

Get the correct safety device

When you ride side by side, you should always be equipped with safety gear. Although their driving style is very similar to that of ordinary cars, with seat belts, gasoline/brake pedals and headlights, the fact is that the lack of shelter from a roof or hard shell makes UTVs more dangerous than ordinary cars. You are also not protected, especially if the UTV rolls over. This is why it is strongly recommended to wear a helmet, for which you can wear a motorcycle or motocross helmet. Both styles are suitable for high-impact extreme sports to ensure the safety of riding to the greatest extent.

If your helmet does not have a face shield, goggles are wise to prevent flying debris such as dust and rocks from hitting your eyes. You should wear long pants and sleeves - they should be clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Sturdy boots and gloves that cover your ankles are also great for wearing. After all, details are important.

Follow the leader

When you learn to ride UTV for the first time, you may follow a trusted and experienced friend or their own professional UTV guide who will show you the know-how. Don't deviate from the path they blazed - it's in your best interest to keep a safe distance behind them and follow their wheels. They will determine the best route to avoid large obstacles and maintain a safe speed that you should match.

Know your UTV

Not all UTVs are the same! Due to many factors, some people deal with it differently from others. Older models do not handle smoothly and are more prone to tipping or tipping over, so you must be vigilant when riding one of them. The new model is made more stable and easy to operate, so if you want the smoothest ride possible, choose the latest model.
