Youth ATV tracks

Youths need constant adventure and they also need a change of scenery once in a while. This is especially true when it comes to ATV tracks. Even adults will tire of the same ATV track after a while, much less a youth with a lot of enthusiasm, drive and need for adrenalin rush. There's nothing like going on different ATV tracks but as we all know, finding the right Youth ATV tracks for your kids can be a little trickier than you'll like.

Most Youth ATV tracks are constructed within or around lush forestation areas which provides families with alternate entertainment. Those who likes ATV riding can go riding while the rest of the non-ATV fans can go do...something else, like camping, bird watching, fishing (if there's a pond nearby) and perhaps even go horse-riding if there's a ranch within the area. Surprisingly, youths like nature more than we would have assumed but maybe that's because of the Youth ATV track.

Before you embark on an adventure to an ATV track, remember to remind your kids that they have to keep to the rules of the ATV track. The rules are often stricter than that of a normal ATV track and it's for a good reason too. One of the most important rules for most Youth ATV tracks is that kids should always stay on the track and resist the temptation to veer off course! This rule is in place for the safety purpose of the kids on the track. Veering off track on a personal adventure can put themselves or other people there in danger. On top of the going off the track could endanger the wildlife around the area too. Now, as we all know, construction of Youth ATV tracks is limited because many people feel that these tracks destroy nature. Destroying parts of the forest or woods around the Youth ATV track could very well spell TROUBLE.

It's easy for youths to get carried away when they're enjoying themselves, so, they need quite a bit of reminding. They need to realize that they are not the only ones using the Youth ATV track and they will need to be considerate at all times. There are many other families who are out there to have a good time as well. As parents, we should always show our kids how to practice common courtesy when on the track.

Like we said, it's easy for kids to get carried away when they're flying around the Youth ATV track - remind them that the ATV track is NOT a race track. In any case, kids should not be allowed to speed on the tracks because they may not be experienced enough to handle the speed or know what to do during an emergency. And besides, they may not be familiar with the ATV track yet, therefore, speeding through the Youth ATV track is not a good idea at all.

Give your kids the basics about using Youth ATV tracks before you bring them there - it's best to do it at home...and not wait until you're there. By the time they're there, they're so excited that everything you say would have flown past their heads, anyway.

I Want To Buy A Kids ATV Quad For My Child But Is It Safe?

This is the tough question that parents must face when purchasing a kids youth ATV.
Is it safe for my child to ride an ATV? Like anything else there are certain risks involved and elements of danger. A bicycle is dangerous and can cause injury, a skateboard, a trampoline and even walking to school. Parents tell their children to ride a helmet when riding a bike and staying on the bike path and away from cars. This is how parents manage risk and minimize injury The same approach needs to be followed with ATV riding.

First, buy an appropriate sized ATV. Extreme Motor Sales has ATV's from 50cc - 110cc for youth ATVs. All too often parent's want to buy an ATV that is too powerful and too large for children. The reason they give?, "I want him or her to grow into that ATV so I don't have to buy another so soon". Extreme Motor Sales' ATV's are so reasonably priced that you can purchase a 50cc ATV for $600.00. Allow your child to learn how to ride on a size appropriate ATV or Dirt Bike and once they have mastered the mechanics for safe ATV quad riding ,move them up in size. Small ATV's hold their resale value and you will be able to recoup those costs while keeping your child safe. Most ATV's come with fantastic safety features to keep your child safe while learning to ride such as throttle limiters or governors', which is a small screw attached to the throttle box that allows you to limit the speed of the quad ATV. Tighten the screw down and the ATV can be slowed down to a maximum of 5 MPH, loosen it to increase the speed as the child becomes more experienced. Also available are ATVs with remote controls, the remote allows you to start, stop and set an audible alarm on the ATV. If the child is driving towards a dangerous area and you want them to stop, you don't have to yell or chase them down, just hit the stop button also known as remote kill switch and the engine shuts off and the ATV comes to a gradual stop. Another safety feature are foot wells, which are foot guards that connect from the front wheel fender to the rear wheel fender, that prevent children from putting their feet down and getting tangled in with the wheels. Remember the old 3-wheelers, they only had foot pegs, and if you put your foot down the rear wheel could and did run over them causing injury. Not the case any more.

Next, think safety gear. Use a recommended, quality dot, Department of Transportation approved helmet. Our dot youth helmets start at $60.00. Often heard...."What is the cheapest ATV helmet that you have?" Don't make the same mistake, spend the money on a good helmet now and keep your child safe forever. You can get complete gear packages including helmet, goggles, chest protector, boots, jersey, pants and gloves for $299.99. Extreme Motor Sales has the RSVP program, which is Ride Safely Value Program that gives you an extra 10% off youth gear purchases when purchasing a youth ATV. Purchase the safety gear and enforce the rules of wearing safety gear while riding or no riding at all. If you do not reinforce the importance of safety then your child will not either.

Finally, an ATV is not a babysitter or a way to keep your child busy while you do other things. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. There is no substitute for adult supervision to keep children safe while riding. Do not allow kids to ride passengers at any time. If you are not familiar with proper ATV riding there are local groups that provide ATV safety courses.

Ride Safe, Ride Smart and Ride Forever.

Parent's, ATV quad riding is a great self-esteem booster, a healthy way to exercise and a great leverage tool for say keeping grades up. We at http://www.ExtremeMotorSales.com believe that ATVriding is a sport that all children and families can and should enjoy.

The Snowmobile Manufacturer Now Known Equally As Well For Its ATV Brand

The snowmobile is a wondrous machine. It serves its purpose for utility reasons and it most certainly serves its purpose as a recreational vehicle for wintertime fun. The snowmobile is one of those vehicles where riders and owners become brand loyal and down-right competitive when it comes to defending their favorite sled. Arctic Cat, officially named Arctic Industries Inc. of Thief River Falls, MN has been in the business of manufacturing snowmobiles since the 1960's.

Their innovative designs have struck a nerve with snowmobilers in the United States, Canada, and in many other snow covered regions around the world ever since their inception. They are among the very few elite sled manufacturers that still exist and thrive today. Arctic Industries knows the ups and downs of the snowmobile industry too well however. The weather is a major factor in snowmobile sales and that actually makes their main product, the snowmobile, a somewhat regional item. In the United States for example, the snowmobile market is limited to the snow belt, the most northern portion of the country.

Arctic Industries made a strategic decision to expand its business model. Since the snowmobile market is limited by region and weather, they decided to try their hand a personal watercraft. They introduced the Tigershark PWC as a remedy for seasonal production and sales. Although their heart was in the right place, their presence in the watercraft industry was short-lived. The next logical step is into the ATV market. This is where the tale gets interesting.

The Arctic Cat ATV model line made its debut in 2004 with utility, sport, and youth ATV's. Their initial offering was well rounded. Their 4x4 ATV's feature a host of advanced technology including fully independent front and rear suspension, advanced hydraulic disc brakes, long travel suspension with high ground clearance, automatic transmissions as well as high-low range transmission design, 2WD and 4WD shaft drive, locking differentials, electronic fuel injection. They introduced their version of the 2X4 sport atv back in 2004 as well.

The DVX 400 was merely a Suzuki Quadracer (LTZ400) ATV clad in Arctic Cat green and black with the Cat logo. The DVX held its own in the 2WD race and trail market. The combination of the utility models which have been competitively priced, and the sport atv's now produced in smaller, more economical versions, Arctic Cat is a force to be reckoned with. One thing is for sure, the Arctic Cat ATV line is diverse, reliable, and in the process of developing a loyal following as it did with it decades old snowmobile line.

Chet maintains an Arctic Cat ATV site dedicated to the Arctic Cat DVX model line. Info on all the DVX models including the DVX 50, 90, 250, 300, and DVX 400. Post pics, get the latest advice on mods, or purchase DVX atv parts.

Youth ATV is Generating lots of Popularity

The popularity of ATV has been rising so astoundingly that many ATV manufacturers have placed importance of developing smaller versions of their current models and designing new models to cater for a new ATV market we regard as the Youth ATV market.

Youth ATV is a unique market...although its smaller, the specifications, requirements and as well as features on Youth ATV is often more stringent and extensive than normal adult-sized ATV. Only last year, there are more and more companies offering Youth ATV with the increasing number of 4-stroke engine Youth ATV as compared to full-sized ones. The leader of Youth ATV remains to be Honda and Yamaha...however, other ATV manufacturers are quickly catching up, offering more defined and youth-enhanced ATVs to consumers.

With so many companies competing for a comparatively small market, the industry for Youth ATV is slowly maturing. As with other types of businesses, after a period of stiff competition and neck-to-neck battles, the strong ones will survive. Some people see if as the concept of 'natural selection'. If the manufacturer of Youth ATV is open to ideas, is consistently improving its line of Youth ATVs, and is keen on moving forward with the trend, it will survive. The less popular ones will either move on to something else or disappear altogether. So, it's safe to assume that for the next few years, we'll see very low prices for Youth ATV while the market matures but over time, the price for Youth ATV will slowly stabilize like the market for Full-Sized ATVs.

Safety features, not surprisingly, sits comfortably at the top of the list of priorities when it comes to Youth ATV. Lacking in physical skill and control over their ATV, Youth ATV needs to be packed with many different safety features that will allow their parents to control the ATV whenever Youths are in trouble. The more safety features it has, the better-selling the Youth ATV will be. Is it of any surprise to you that this is so?

Like human beings, the Youth ATV market will go through many developmental stages too...from infancy, toddlerhood to childhood...and then they reach maturity. The comparison makes perfect sense if you look at it closely. Right now, the Youth ATV market is going through a developmental stage where the industry is tweaking itself to find a footing. Over time, as it matures, we will be able to enjoy Youth ATV of optimal technology, quality, performance and improved features.
