How can I convince my parents to getting a ATV or dirt bike?
First you have to show that you have thought everything out. Where will you ride and how will you get there? Do you have friends who ride also or a public track so that you will not be riding alone? (Got to think safety – parents appreciate that) Riding gear is very important and must be included. (Safety again – I broke my foot once jumping basically because I crashed and was wearing my Nike shoes instead of my riding boots and the bike landed on left foot) Who is paying for everything? (If they are paying, you should show that you are willing to make some kind of sacrifice or contribution) Lastly, I would suggest the dirt bike myself as I was able to learn more tricks and have more fun on it and they are easier to get one that is the right size for you no matter your age.

Tell your parents you are very passionate about this. And being actively involved in a hobby will keep you buys so you will not get bored and look for other things to do, like getting in trouble or associating with the wrong friends. Also, having a dirt bike will give you a chance to develop some mechanical skills, you will learn about repairs and maintenance, all good skills to have.
