If you want to spend some time outdoors in Phoenix, ATV rentals are the way to go. There's nothing quite like roaring down a dusty trail and feeling the power of the machine rumble beneath you. There are also plenty of Phoenix motorcycle repair and outfitting shops, if you would rather bike. And no matter your choice of wheels, there are endless trails to explore. However, riding can be a dangerous sport.
It's important to have and use the right training, equipment, and attitude when you get on an ATV.
Before you get even touch an ATV, make sure you've received the proper training. If you're renting an ATV or going with a tour service, chances are they can provide instruction. Otherwise, there are a variety of training centers and courses available--in person, online, via DVD, etc. It is extremely important that you not only know how to operate the vehicle but that you also know how to drive it safely.
Once you have your ATV and are ready to hit the trail, you'll need to wear some safety gear. Hands down, the most important thing is to always wear a helmet that provides full face coverage. You also need eye protection that can fit over your helmet. Not only are goggles a good safety precaution against flying debris, they also increase your visibility and comfort. Dust gets everywhere, and the eyes are no exception.
You should also consider a riding jersey, particularly one that is moisture-repellent. It's good to wear a lot of coverage to prevent sunburn and scratches from branches and other objects that might push their way onto the trail. For this reason, riding pants are also handy. If you can get some with hip and knee pads, you'll be that much better off if you take a tumble. A pair of elbow guards will also help if you fall or crash, and some good gloves intended for motorbike or ATV use will prove extremely beneficial after a long day of gripping the handles. Don't forget some riding boots; you don't want your feet hanging out in flip-flops down by the engine.
Finally, as you start driving, get your mind in the right place. Be alert for and respectful of other people who are out enjoying nature. Be courteous and do not act like you own the road. In addition, do not take unnecessary risks in an attempt to get a thrill. Your health and body are not worth the gamble. Above all, do not consume any alcohol when riding an ATV or any type of vehicle. Be cautious and aware, and you'll have a great time.
With the right preparation, gear, and mental attitude, you will have a wonderful time exploring Phoenix or any other place on an ATV.
