Anyone have any tips on bicycling your quad? What is the best way to learn how to bicycle your ATV? Thanks, I got a pretty good tip in the wheelie discussion, just wondering if any other aggressive riders ever bicycle their quads. Any response or tips are greatly appreciated and NEEDED.

This is the coolest trick. On my Blaster, I use second gear. Do a fairly sharp turn at 15-18mph, and lean to the outside, standing up. For me, left hand turns are easier. It's easy to lift the inside wheel, but if you don't get it high, you will ride round in circles. Try to lift the wheel up more by leaning farther to the outside. Also try to straighten th quad out, make the circles larger. After some practice you will be able to go in a fairly straight line. In you can bicycle on the left two wheels you can learn to do it one-handed. You can do one-handers on teh right two wheels, but it is much harder. It's a really fun trick, and it is relitively safe. So far I have yet to crash doing it, bt I have come cloe a time or two. Just a tip, do not try to turn right when riding on the right two wheels. It's fun, but you will scare yourself, or crash.

I love Bicycling my 650 lb Arctic Cat 500. The funniest thing was watching my freind's face when he saw me come around taht corner on 2 wheels and ride it all the way to right in front of his brand new 400ex. He said I was crazy. I think it's fun.

p.s. He still don't want to let my ride his 400 ex.

I used to do that on my quadsport. I was always wondering why my lower front ball joints kept breaking. I just figured that might be why, so I don't do that anymore. It happened to 3 different times.

So, in second gear, go fairly slowly, drive in a tight circle, speed up until the suspension starts giving, lean to the outside, steer and balance?

Basicly, you have it right. The main thing is to practice.
