Hydrate before and during

Sun protection matters
Sunglasses, SPF 30+ sunscreen and a wide-brim hat reduce glare and windburn during the quad section.
Follow the safety briefing
Pay attention to the quad orientation and maintain recommended speed—terrain can change from packed rock to softer gravel quickly.
