Although 4 wheeler atvs are some of the most dangerous vehicles known to man, people are more than ever buying 4 wheelers for kids. Not only do these four wheelers tear up the natural habitat, but they make tremendous noise, disturbing the native wildlife while causing their terrible erosion. Back in the days, young people eroded the soil and basically wrecked things for everyone else trying to enjoy the wilderness. But worst of all, is the danger of the 4 wheelers.

Going four-wheeling in one of those big trucks is a lot safer and it's both fun and popular to do. Nevertheless, whenever you take something off road and go through the brush and the hills, you're going to end up with someone getting hurt. Many people go four-wheeling during or after a drinking binge. That means there are a lot of people out there, too drunk to drive, tearing down back roads at breakneck speed. A safer way to go 4 wheeling is using 4×4 trucks, and this is also popular. Still, anything that involves driving trucks around off road for recreation, people will find a way to make dangerous, especially if they are young and stupid. Instead of having to worry about their 4 wheelers rolling over on them, we now have the problem of drunken drivers going in their older brother's, or father's pickup trucks at high speeds on the back roads. And more than once, this has had tragic results.

No matter how much fun they seem, people who are aware of how dangerous four-wheel ATVs are still buying them for their children. It seems like they are just asking for trouble by doing that. There are things like movie theaters and great movies to watch, soda shops for a nice afternoon treat, and even music venues that people of all ages can go to. How about enjoying nature by taking a great hike in the woods? There are acres and acres of beautiful wilderness to explore that don't need to be spoiled by the grumbling whine of an ATV. On an ATV, the nature flashes by so fast you can't see anything, you can't hear any birds singing, and you've practically scared away all of the fantastic wildlife out there. There need to be some laws protecting kids and the environment from the dangers of ATVs. While they may be of use to someone out there, they aren't toys and they're definitely not for kids.

Why, with all of this tragedy, parents would even think of buying their kids 4 wheelers? It just does not make any sense. It is not like there is absolutely nothing to do in town. There are movie theaters, coffee shops, the soda shop, the main drag. There is even an all ages venue that provides rock music for the kids. And that does not even touch on all of the beautiful wilderness that surrounds us. But instead of enjoying that wilderness for its quiet and mystery, the kids just use it to drive their 4 wheelers, making enough noise to wake the devil himself and completely trampling on nature. That is a shame when you realize how much they miss out on hearing over the rumble of their 250cc 4 wheelers engines. There is a whole world passing them by. Parents should save their money and buy their children something safer — like a bicycle or scooter.

4 Wheeler Atv – Four Wheeling Tips

Taking your four-wheeler off road is one of the big reasons you no doubt bought your ATV in the first place. That feeling of being able to travel easily over very difficult terrain is why the ATV has become such a popular recreational vehicle. We don't really think about it very much but the engineering that goes into a four-wheeler is pretty phenomenal. Manufacturers that provide ATVs to the four-wheeler markets make those machines to be basically "ready for anything". They know that people who own all terrain vehicles take that title seriously and really will take that ATV onto the most difficult and hostile environments and expect them to roll over downed trees, ravines anything else they might encounter in the wild and do so with ease.

It is a good idea, however, to have some common sense about how you use your ATV and what you are going to expect it to do for you. This principle is even more important when a young person takes the controls of a four-wheeler and takes it off road. There is a lot of power in an ATV that gives it the ability to roll over brush and trees without hesitating. Pound for pound, an ATV is more powerful and takes on much greater challenges than even the conventional family car.

That power can give the inexperienced rider a sense of freedom and power that can delude the driver into thinking there is nothing this machine cannot take on. The common sense you or whoever drives your ATV must be well in touch with is that a four-wheeler is not a tank and it is possible to put it in a situation that it cannot handle. And if you get to charging through an off road environment without concern for reality or safety, the outcome can be a break down or accident that can be a disaster.

Even though your four-wheeler can do amazing things, you must know exactly what it cannot do. Only someone who has driven the ATV quite a bit and knows it well should be allowed to take it into unexplored territory. That wisdom to stop before taking that vehicle into territory that could be beyond the abilities of the ATV is the common sense that any ATV owner or operator must have.

In addition to common sense, preparation and regard for safety rules must also be second nature to ATV driver and passengers alike. Simple rules like not drinking while driving a four-wheeler, the use of seat belts and helmets and how to prepare for an outing so you have communications and first aid equipment on hand should it be needed must be a requirement for any four-wheeler driver. If you are well in touch with the rules of how to use an ATV responsibly and you are always prepared for the unexpected, you can take that powerful machine out for many adventures off road knowing that you are doing so responsibly and safely.

Winning back-to-back championships is a rare feat in NASCAR these days. Prior to the recent Jimmie Johnson ascendancy, the last driver to win championship is succession was none other than Jeff Gordon in 1997 and 1998.Many fans and analysts perceived three consecutive championships in today’s NASCAR as virtually impossible to accomplish. Cale Yarborough won three championships in a row in 1976, 1977, and 1978. Many will contend that NASCAR was a different sport during that stretch of time. There were fewer teams with powerful resources. There were only a handful of teams capable of winning on a consistent basis.

In our current era, the competition is tight; nevertheless, if a team discovers a technological advantage, it can make a huge difference on race day, and that team can leave the competition in the dust. That seems to be the case with Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team. The Hendrick Motorsports team won championship in 2006, 2007, and 2008, making him only the second driver to three-peat. Even prior to his championship seasons, he was winning, and winning often. In fact, ever since Johnson arrived to NASCAR’s highest level of competition, he has finished no worse than fifth in the final Sprint Cup standings. It is apparent that Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus have this NASCAR thing down pat. They lead the list of favorites in 2009.

How would a fourth consecutive championship affect the sport of NASCAR? Would it be good for the sport? It is a double-edged sword. It would be good for the sport because it has never been accomplished, and may never be accomplished again in our lifetime, meaning that we would be witnessing one of the most impressive achievements in Sprint Cup history. It could also present a negative affect on the sport based on the lack of parity. While Johnson has a respectable fan base, the majority of fans have not embraced Johnson the way other champions have been embraced. Some fans just simply want to see someone different hoist the championship trophy at Homestead in November. It is becoming habitual for Johnson to sit at the head table during the December awards banquet, and fans are starving for a new champion.

Winning four championships would be unbelievable, perhaps the second most impressive NASCAR statistic behind only the seven total championships won by Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
