At first I thought it was jank, but I've come to appreciate its precarious handling. If it were any more responsive, the game would feel too easy, imo. (Aren't ATVs pretty dangerous when it comes to rolling/flipping IRL?) Unless you're on a straight road in broad daylight, you probably shouldn't be gunning it to full throttle. The "S" key is your best friend. When you hit any downhill slope greater than 5°, you should be mashing that sucker like there's no tomorrow to ease your way down it. Hitting the parking brake is also good for breaking a fall, but I don't know how foolproof it is.
