Answer 1

It's a small point, but think it should be "quadding"..."quading" would be pronounced /kway'-ding/.

I'm inclined to agree. I edited the title for clarity and brevity and thought about changing that... but, as Googling didn't reveal a clear mandate in favor of either, I decided the burden of proof was on me & that I should leave it as-is. - Toph, Aug 28, 2009

[1]:

I think we had that in one of our lessons, but the phrase doesn't come to mind. I think it had something to do with ATV's. (I think that is what I was recalling: vehículo todo terreno)

other quad terms

![4 wheeler][3]

Answer 3

Assume “quading” is the same as “off-roading”. The following definition appears in our SpanDict Dictionary

off-road

adjetivo

1. fuera de pista (driving)

- an off-road vehicle -> un (vehículo) todoterreno

Similarily, if quading is done in a four-wheel drive vehicle, the following definition appears in our dictionary

four-wheel drive

sustantivo

1. tracción (f) a las cuatro ruedas

I'm guessing the phrase “Conduciendo fuera de pista en un todoterreno a las cuatro ruedas” means "quading". However, I don’t think Kingbl (the questioner) wanted such a long phrase in Spanish.

off roading and 4 wheeling can be done in a 4 wheel drive truck-this referes to the vehicles like the one I showed - 0074b507, Aug 28, 2009

Answer 4

I would say:

Me gusta (ir a) andar en quad (moto de cuatro ruedas).
