Review

Dirt Wheels, June 2006 (circ.: 88,632) “Steve has put together a wide-ranging book for the first-time rider, the avid enthusiast or just about anyone looking to increase their knowledge of off-road quad riding. If you look carefully, you’ll also spot some of the staff in the pages of this 162-page, full-color thriller.”

Product Description
The ATV business is hugeâ€"and still growing. ATV sales make up 1/3 of motorcycle sales (they’re classified together) and ATVs of all types and sizes are available for pure sport and for recreation/utility use. They are incredibly durable and powerful and can traverse steep and uneven terrain. Their primary purpose is usually work, but every ATV is also used for recreational riding because they are fun to operate. ATVs: Everything You Need to Know tells new buyers everything they need to know to select (and outfit with accessories) the ATV that best suits their needs, and offers current ATV owners a wealth of information about other uses for their ATVs, accessories, maintenance, and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is a very good from the basics to advanced riding, February 18, 2006

By	T. Dustyi Richardson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book will take you a long way. It's not just for beginners. After a few months or even years you'll pick it up again because you have advanced. Very rarely does a book advance as you do. It has information on the basics for beginners, differnt kinds of ATVs, safety gear, how to ride, HOW TO BUY A USED ATV & what to look for which saved my butt from making some bad mistakes I wouldn't of know had I not bought this book. Well worth it's weight in gold, or rather dollars. The book also tells you how to modify you ATV once you've advanced and are ready for more power and speed. It also has a section on where to ride and where to find others who ride in your area. I found this bike very informative. I am very pleased that I bought it. It has made my ATV experience a good one - no regrets thanks to the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this before you Buy an ATV, January 3, 2007

By	Manolis Manoli (Limassol Cyprus) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was not written to review specific ATV models however it
will provide exelent information to the ones with a dilimma on which
type of ATV to go for. A must read for beginners It also covers a
big part regarding "safety" and "preservation of nature". It will
give a good picture of the sport to the future atv rider.

ps. To become good , at the end of the day you do need to get on the atv and ride....
