While you ride your ATV at Hatfield-McCoy, remember to practice these riding tips:
Always respect the land and environment. Do not go off of the trail, do not harm the land, and do not litter. Actually, it's a nice gesture to pick up any litter that you see, if possible. If you want to keep experiencing the beauty of nature, then it is in your best interest to keep it clean. Also, don't blast any loud music from your ATV while on a trail. This can be very distracting and it ruins the peaceful nature experience for others. Always remember to be courteous to all other riders on the trail, and be respectful as possible
Never, ever ride your ATV while under the influence of alcohol or any other mind altering drug, because you could put yourself and others in serious danger. If you want to drink, wait until you get home. Also, don't show off or mess around while riding your ATV, and don't try to ride trails that are beyond your ability, because you may get hurt. This is especially true for beginning riders.
You may feel the need to be adventurous and immediately explore harsher terrain, but wait until you are ready for it. Becoming a skilled ATV rider takes time and experience. If you jump into a situation you can't handle, you could seriously hurt yourself. Take the time to know and understand your ATV, and ride with experienced riders as often as you can. With a lot of effort and practice, you will build the experience and knowledge needed to handle the more intense trails.
