Frequently Asked questions about mountain Quest – ATV & Dirtbike Tours
What is ATV?
ATV is the short word for All-Terrain Vehicle. It is also sometimes called a quad bike, a quad, or a light utility vehicle. Some ATVs have either 3 or 4 wheels. This type of vehicle travels on low-pressure tires and is made to go through a variety of terrain conditions. ATVs are meant to be used for off-road or on dirt roads, its tires are not meant for streets, paved roads, or highways. This makes an ATV perfect for exploring mountains, hills, etc.
How to enjoy Riding ATVs?
We all know that Filipinos love sports and are willing to try anything that could challenge them. and that includes riding an ATV. The good thing is, ATV ride is getting more and more popular and is slowly becoming a hobby or pastime for some people. If you’re interested in trying this incredible activity, then you’re in for an adventure! This is one of the best and fun ways to explore places of interest since it is also tourism-driven.
To be able to enjoy riding an ATV, you must first have basic knowledge on how to maneuver this vehicle. The good thing about mountain Quest is that before you start your course, they will teach you all the things you need to know. If you’re a beginner, this is a great opportunity as you can ask them anything and you will even have a demo ride before the real deal!
Preparing the ride at mountain Quest
The first thing that mountain Quest will tell you is, of course, to wear comfortable clothes. the best ones to wear are sports clothes. I and my cousin decided to wear t-shirts, jackets, jeggings, and sports shoes. That’s how scared we are of being toasted under the sun, hehe. You can wear any comfortable clothes of your choice.
The next thing is wearing protective gear such as helmets, boots if you have, and gloves. Don’t forget gloves! We forgot to bring these so we felt a bit of pain in our hands after the course. mountain quest provides helmets, knee and elbow pads. You can also bring goggles to protect your eyes.
Tips on Driving ATVs
Here are the 2 basic tips that beginners should remember before driving an ATV. mountain Quest always tells us these tips during the whole course:
1. always keep your feet on the pegs. Yes, always. Whatever happens during the ride or whatever bumps you will encounter, never put your feet on the side. This is because they might get caught by the tires at the backside of the vehicle, you don’t want that to happen, do you?
2. practice using the clutch, shifting, and the brakes. This might sound overwhelming especially if you don’t have any idea or experience with vehicles before, like me. but ATVs at mountain Quest are not complicated to learn at all. It was already my second time riding an ATV, but it was my cousin’s first time. In short, she doesn’t really have any idea how to maneuver this type of vehicle. but guess what? She was able to learn it right away, in around 10 minutes I guess? No need to learn so much for the clutch or shifting since the ATVs there are automatic.
However, you still need to learn how to master the brakes. remember that part of driving an ATV is slowing down and that includes how you can release the gas at the perfect timing and how to play with the brakes. sounds too much? No worries! It’s not difficult at all! As mentioned above, you will have a demo ride before the real deal. and you can also learn to control your ATV while on the go!
