    Which is harder to ride...Dirt bikes or quads?

    I am curious to everyones opinion on which they think is all around harder to ride. I think that atv riding is much harder. There is more weight, they are unpredicable, worse crashes, slower and much harder to jump...and keep straight in the air and control the landings.

    Does anyone think that its easier to ride a quad hard then it is a dirt bike?

    IMO opinion it depends on the terrain. If you are at the dunes probably a quad but for where I ride a bike is easier and I am less sore the next day when riding a bike

    For beginners, I would think the bike would be harder to ride. For any riding more advanced the quad is hard to ride.

    well i just started riding bikes lately, and i'm getting a YZ 400f tuesday. in my opinion a bike is a lot harder, i gotta concentrate a lot more on what i am doin. but a quad beats your ***** a lot more, harder on the body.

    definitely!

    a nicely groomed mx track, i'll take the dirtbike. tight wooded trail with mud and crap...quad.

    yep, terrain dictates it all for me.

    as i ride both i think dirtbikes are harder to ride all around but in the jumping aspect bikes are easier to control in the air then quads are

    I think just the whole jumping aspect of riding quads makes it more difficult. On a bike you only need a couple inches of a smooth lip to take off. On a quad it will kick you in all directions. Plus even the best quad suspensions dont seem to soak up big hits like stock bikes do.

    im scared of bikes so when ever i get on one i ride like a little girl so bikes are easier on me

    I think it takes more skill to ride a bike..... but quads beat the hell outa ya. the other day me and my friend went riding, and he rides a RM125, we went for loike 6 hours. I was tired as ****, i went to bed after i got outa the shower, the next morning i talk to him and hes had went to a party.... im just like howd u stay awake man

    I'm equally decent on both, and find i crash my quad a lot more, but crash my bike harder. I used to only ride bikes and thought quads were harder, now i'm changin my mind.
