Summarize the following:
Roll the throttle back towards you to rev up the engine. Ease off the throttle to slow down. When you need to stop, you can simply let go of the throttle. It will spin back to its original position.  Aim on turning the throttle about ⅓ of the way back once you have completely let go of the clutch. Keep a hand on the throttle at all times, but never panic. Some riders freeze up when they get too fast. Stay loose to keep control of the bike. You start off in first gear, and as the bike builds speed, the engine gets louder. When you bring the throttle about ¾ of the way back, the bike won’t go any faster. You have to press the clutch in and pull the gear shifter up at the same time to keep going.  Remember that adult dirt bikes go as high as fifth gear, so you may need to do this a few times. There is no display telling you what gear you are in, so you have to listen and get a feel for how the bike operates to know when to shift. The same rules apply when slowing down, except you push the gear shifter down. To slow the bike, lay off the throttle and shift down as needed. Step lightly on the brake pedal to slow the bike.  Stop the bike by reaching first gear, then pulling in the clutch. Press down on the brake pedal to bring the bike to a halt.  Using the clutch prevents the bike from stalling as it slows. You can also tap the handbrake to slow the bike, but avoid relying on it. Many beginners make the mistake of squeezing it hard. Since it operates the front wheel, the bike comes to a sudden halt, but you keep going over the handlebars. When you come upon a corner, lean the bike in the direction of the turn. Put your inside foot down to help you turn. Shift your body over so the outside edge of the seat is directly under you. Keep your weight on the outside peg as you go through the turn.  Stick your elbows out so they are parallel to the handlebars. This will give you more control over the bike. Putting your foot down also allows you to steady the bike in case you take the corner too sharply. Dirt bikes are designed for rough terrain. Their lifted frames offer plenty of control and don’t take as much damage as other vehicles would during a crash. Head to rocky ground or a motocross track, then stand up on your bike as you drive. Try different types of terrain to improve your driving. Sand dunes feel different than dirt hills, and each type of terrain requires different skills. Find out where you like driving!
Turn or release the throttle to control the bike’s speed. Use the shifter to change gears when the engine works too hard. Hit the back brakes to slow down or stop. Lean to the side to maneuver around corners. Practice driving on rough terrain when you get comfortable riding.
