Backyard stunt show. While the real Evel made jumping Harleys fashionable, you have to give this wannabe credit. He lines up his robust 3-wheeler collection, climbs on board his ATC 250R and gets it done in style. And, just like the real one, he even lands to flat! Judging by the condition of the seat […] More »

The flight went well but that landing had to hurt. Time for a quick lesson in physics. Ever notice at freestyle events and motocross race courses every jump has an equally large (or often even larger) mound of dirt to land upon? Do you know why this is? Because landing on a steep grade turns […] More »

Needs a longer trailer. Ever wonder if, while driving your machine up the trailer loading ramp, you were to accidentally pin the throttle? The beauty of the internet is these and other such questions can be answered without even having to put on pants.

They make it look easy. By and large, ATV freestyle is a small niche in the greater ATV hierarchy. After all, when you’re talking about machines designed for the woods, the trails, mud, sand, snow, work and on and on, flying them through the sky can often get overlooked. We’re here to remind that it […] More »

Well things sure went bad in a hurry. Racing can be a dangerous business in even the best of times but when one rider goes down on the landing of a big, blind step-up, the domino effect of wild crashes quickly follows.

How are they doing this? Dear ATVC: I just got back from Round 5 of the ATVMX National Championships and have a question about jumping. I notice when the riders go f or the big leaps, the take-off sends the nose of the quad skyward then they swing the machine in the opposite direction to […] More »

Landing, not a launch. Fact – even if we don’t realize it, we’re experiencing the nature of physics every time we ride. What makes huge air possible is the fact that landing on a steep decline (transition) turns downward momentum into forward momentum. When you see a giant landing ramp, the goal is always to […] More »
