rush for a few hours is how many people define their vacations. Sky diving, bungee jumping and parasailing are all sports that have become major tourist attractions, and ATVing has joined bunch. An ATV ride for a thrill is a great day adventure for a tourist, but just as with other thriller sports, ATVing can be very dangerous and tourist are often newcomers to sport as well, which could cause a more dangerous scenario. This is why you and any tourist trying ATVing out for first time on vacation should strictly follow rules and regulations established by rental shop taking you riding. Protective equipment is necessary. Ask for a helmet and safety goggles if they are not offered to you on your guided tour. Any time you are riding ATVs, no matter how much a beginner you are, expect to get dirty. You will be riding over rough trails that may not be much of a trail at all, which means branches, leaves, sticks and other objects will be kicked up as you ride over them. For this reason, wear full coverage clothing. Long pants and a long sleeve shirt should be satisfactory. ATV riding and tourism are a great combination as long as proper safety measures are taken. Newcomers should go through a short lesson before straddling seat and taking an ATV for a ride. For tourists in any area where trails are set up, riding ATVs are a great way to get a rush and experience environment at same time.
