Driving on Slippery Surfaces
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
- 
               
               
Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
 - 
               
               
Slow down when entering slippery areas.
 - 
               
               
Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
 - 
               
               
Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.
