Participants
for this course must have successfully completed the ATV Ridercourse
prior to receiving this training and must provide a copy of their ATV
Ridercourse certification during registration and at the course.
Advanced ATV rider training is intended for the rider who will likely
take their ATV to remote areas and through difficult terrain.
Topics
that are covered in this course include: emergency repairs, winching
techniques and safety, remote riding preparedness, knots and lashing
and advanced terrain riding. Students will receive practical experience
in a safe environment prior to participating in a daylong ride through
and over a variety of terrain during this 2 DAY course.
Participants who successfully and safely complete all components of
this course will receive the National ATV Schools course completion
certificate.
The student rider will need to bring their own safety equipment which will include the following:
- Approved motorcycle helmet (CSA, Snell, ANSI, and DOT).
- Eye protection (goggles, impact resistant glasses).
- Long sleeve shirt.
- Long pants.
- Ankle supporting closed toe footwear.
- Gloves.
The student is also expected to provide their own winch equipped
ATV, which must pass a pre-course safety check prior to being allowed
on the course. On the second day of training, riders will be expected
to bring at least the basic tools covered during the first days’
training. Riders will likely encounter wet and muddy conditions and so
the appropriate attire is the student’s responsibility. Waterproof
footwear and raingear is highly recommended.
Students
MUST bring their ATV owner’s manual to this course, given the
tremendous variations in design and mechanical engineering with each
manufacturer’s models.
NOTE: This
course is physically demanding. Be sure to get your doctor’s permission
