Quad Biking on
snow is very different to quad biking on any other terrain,
with the back wheels sliding out and your front ones not
always making you go in the direction that you point them.
Quad Biking on snow is an exhilarating and fun activity that
anyone who has driven quad bikes or has an interest in must
have a go at taking part in. |

fits. As soon as you all have helmets it will be time for
your instruction and safety brief - Pay close attention to
