Ratchet Load
ATV Hauling - Loading and Securing Your ATV For Transport
Unless you live along the trail, most likely you'll need to transport your ATV on a truck bed or trailer.
Loading your ATV requires a certain amount of know-how and safety precautions to protect yourself and your equipment from accidents. Here are a few tips for loading and securing your ATV on a truck or trailer.
If loading onto a trailer, hitch up the trailer to the tow vehicle before loading your ATV. This prevents the trailer from rocking or tipping.
Use ramps with a loading capacity that can easily handle the combined weight of your ATV and any equipment left on your quad. The ground at the bottom of the ramps should be flat and solid, and the angle of incline should be gradual, not steep. Attach the safety straps or other safety device to lock your ramps in place.
Riding your ATV up the ramps can be dangerous, and accidents caused by improper loading are more common than you might think. If you choose this method of loading, wear protective gear such as boots, gloves, goggles, and a helmet.
Load your quad in first gear, or the lowest gear possible to mount the ramps. Avoid jerky starts or stops while on the ramps. Never approach the ramps at high speed. This could cause them to buckle or ram into the back of the trailer or truck.
The safest way to load your ATV is to use a winch. This method allows you to stand clear of the ATV and gives you greater control over speed and precision in loading. With a winch, you don't have to worry about stalling on the ramps and can stand at a safe distance in case something goes wrong.
Once you've loaded your quad, balance the weight over the trailer axle to evenly distribute the load. Set the parking brake on your ATV and secure it to the truck or trailer bed with tie-down straps. Use a total of four straps: two in front and two in back. Ratchet down the straps as tightly as possible. The straps should be tight enough to lock your ATV in place when you try to rock it, and the tires should look like they are under load.
Loop and secure excess strap length to keep them from flapping or dragging. If you are hauling your quad in an open trailer or truck bed, protect it with a trailerable ATV cover to keep it clean of road debris such as sand or salt and to shield it from the elements.

On RATCHET & CLANK 2 Locked and Loaded, how can you get some skill points?
Example: on Bye,Bye Birdies skill you shoot birds whats the others?
Well, i don't know them exactly, but I am a big fan of Ratchet and Clank. Try going to places that seem a little weird to you but it is there for a reason. Mess about when your there. That's what i did and I have all of the Skill Points. Go to the first planet there is. There is a lot of ways to get Skill Points on there. For instance, save the drowning store clerk. Hope this helps!!
