"We are talking about basic quad riding and now we are going to talk about accelerating. Ok, now when we are accelerating we want to use this gas right here there are different types of thumb sticks some have a roll on throttle right here for a quad some have the thumb. You can get different adjustments to what you like the best. When we are accelerating we want to keep it nice and easy just a slow push with the thumb stick and keep your eyes on the road, nice good posture. If you accelerate too hard you can cause the tires to skid out which could throw rocks potentially behind you or cause you to flip up into a wheely or fall over on your back. Especially if you are on a racing quad or a high sport quad. This is just a hunting quad something nice for just driving trails but you want to watch that if you are on a faster racing bike."
