Default My 1st weekend riding!

As a few of you know my friends got me hooked on riding quads. This weekend was the first time i took my week old banshee out to the trails. We went to the leota trails in michigan and it was a blast. Woke up at 7am and rode all day until dark, never had so much fun before in my life. We rode the entire trail and messed around in the play area quiet a bit which was much more fun than the trails in my opinion cause i can accually use that powerband [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I think i was running it a little rich though cause when i got home it wouldnt start so i took out the spark plugs and cleaned them then it started up just fine. Riding is so much of a stress reliever its unreal. Feel free to share your stories of you 1st ride or whatever stories you have id love to read em [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

haha thats good. Quads are stress relievers.
Wait till you get to know ur banshee. I personally have used powerband on everything i do u just gota play with it. The banshee is very unique bike and can use its powerband and its ability to loose traction on mostly anything and to ur advantage.

just yesterday i learned how to go strait in second then do a quick 180 hold in my clutch and roll backwards. really fun

My friends cant stand the banshee cuz they arent use to it, but ive impressed them suckas alot.

If u need any tips or advice just ask

u can do donuts already right since there easy on a banshee. try going first then do a 180.( to make it do a 180 just turn and slide it but quick)

after u get hang of it hit second then do 180and hold in clutch while ur doing it9 almost to the end) and if u do it smoothly ull be riding backwars pretty fast. It looks cool

also when u want to get in powerband and ur not in itlike ur going in 3rd and u loose it cuz ur gonig slow (hold in clutch or feather it then give it gas ull be back in powerband) this is one of the reasons banshees are badass at hillclimbs.

if u wanna know anything else ask

Glad to hear your first ride was a blast and there were no injuries to report.... That is always a bonus.
