Hooning a farm [ATV]() like [a Gymkhana car]() must be like the final form of that. [Matthew Cathcart]() does this pretty often, by the looks of it, and these videos of his crazy stunts on a Honda Rancher are the sickest I've seen. I'll admit I'm a little jealous of this guy. I grew up riding a Honda Recon ATV, which is like the Rancher but smaller (and slower). My friends and I burned up many a tire by drifting our four-wheelers around every corner we came across. The difference is that none of us were former British rally championship contenders like Cathcart. > [View this post on Instagram]() > [A post shared by Matthew Cathcart (@matt\_y14\_)]() His car control is simply stellar. You can see from the other videos he's uploaded to Instagram that no matter what vehicle he's in, he can slide it. Whether it's [a Ford Focus RS]() or [a gosh darn Land Rover Defender](), Cathcart makes it look easy. Drifting an ATV like this takes more than good hand-eye coordination, too. You also have to shift your body around to make it go one way and then the other. It's not like the 420cc engine has [all the power in the world]() so man and machine have to be in sync when pulling off a sweet reverse-entry drift. Just look at the onboard POV in this clip: > [View this post on Instagram]() > [A post shared by Matthew Cathcart (@matt\_y14\_)]() And don't even get me started on the sick front-wheelies. Four-wheel drive comes in handy there: > [View this post on Instagram]() > [A post shared by Matthew Cathcart (@matt\_y14\_)]() A commenter asked Cathcart how many tires he goes through every month, to which he responded, "\[I'm\] on the same tires since this time last year." I totally believe that. There's no way you're getting a rig to slide like that on pavement without completely bald rubber. Of course, it also helps that it rains all the time in the UK. I definitely won't encourage you to try this at home because all it takes is one unexpected bump to go flying over the handlebars. Cathcart has shared [a few bloopers of himself](), even, and he's a pro. Instead, join me in living vicariously through this dude who's clearly living it up. *Got a tip or question for the author?
