when riding in the #sand you want to stand up so you can move your body around and be an active rider and influence the pegs to help direct the bike you want your body position as neutral as possible only put your weight back to get traction to the rear wheel or help lighten up the front don't have too much body weight forward on the motorcycle because the front wheel is going to dig deeper into the sand this might cause your front wheel to wobble and you could start to lose control if you're new to riding sand and or you're apprehensive about riding sand and you come across some deep sand a human reaction for us or what we go back to is sitting down now i wouldn't suggest you sit down for a lot of reasons the biggest reason is it's just going to make you more tired and you're going to be worn out faster so if you're going to sit down on the bike in the sand and paddle put your feet on the ground here's how you do it stick your foot as far forward on the ground as you can and pick it up when it gets to your foot peg do not stick your foot far forward and go all the way back you risk injury to your ankle or your lower leg if it catches underneath your pannier also when you're sitting go slower don't go too fast as soon as the sand gets to a depth that you feel you can go faster pick your feet up put them on the pegs stand up and right away you're going to have much more control on a 500 plus pound motorcycle standing than you would if you were sitting

I started riding enduros back in the early 70s, mostly in the Jersey Pine Barrons- lots of sand, tight single track trails and cranberry bogs! The Lafferty boys and the locals were the acknowledged “A” champions. We had a 2 Day National there in 1972 where all the Penton boys showed up. Nobody rode anything larger than a 360, in my case a Husky 360 8sp. I’m not sure I ever mastered sand but I did learn a lot.

I have ridden motorcycles for 48 yrs the last 20 on adventure bikes (currently Yamaha Super Tenere 1200) I was going to do a video on my channel on this very topic but now won’t bother Dusty has done an excellent job with this video. If you follow this example you will certainly become a confident competent sand rider, the only thing I can add to this video is be very very careful of panniers. If you sit or drop a foot in the sand it doesn’t slide it digs in (usually) and of course those panniers will belt your calf muscle (ouch ) . By preference I run my soft bags if I know I’ll be doing sand work. Excellent video Dusty.

The first time I rode on gravel I hated it! I hated the way the bike wandered around, and I would tense up into a giant knot. I did, in fact, drop the bike. After my friend told his dad what happened, he told me that I needed to loosen up and relax. Let the back wheel do what it was going to do. Next time I was on that same road, I implemented his advice, and stayed loose. The results were dramatic, and immediate. There was zero drama. I actually learned to love that sensation! I have been away from riding for about 20 years now, but intend to get back in soon. I have still not ridden in sand. I see some motorcycle KZbinrs that ride big bikes, and have a terrible time in any loose terrain. Like me, they really need to watch the Mototrek videos here. I really look forward to getting out there and practicing some of these techniques. If I can't get past something, I may even take a class.

I learned how to ride sand in a trial by fire. It's scary as hell at first but a study throttle, good body position (stand up, damn you!) and a loose grip on the bars allowing the bike to find it's way through the substrate will always get you home. At times it can even be downright fun (course after 5 miles of deep wash sand in the Mojave Preserve on a Himalayan, I was ready to call it quits - thanks Rob Dabney & co. for not letting me become vulture poop!) I've still got a long way to go with learning how to restart in deep 10-12" sand pits - once I'm stopped, getting started again is damn near impossible for me. Appreciate the advice and instruction, Dusty!

Yeah one time I took my new 890R down a sandy wash that was sixth gear ripping on my 300XC. Pure terror on the ADV. I did end up discovering that I didn’t have enough sag, and maybe that contributed to burying the front, but holy crap, I am not sure there’s any time I’ll fee comfortable in the sand on a big bike.

I used to ride dirt bikes as a kid, but never with any training, we just winged it on guts and ignorance. Fast forward 30 years, I am not an off-road guy at all, but my adventure-riding neighbour invited me on a ride last year. He swore it was just hard-pack fire trails. Ha! It was mud, sand, gravel, even a few river crossings. Long story short, I’m riding a Kawasaki Versys with road tyres, but he and the other guys coached me a bit on technique, and I still made it through, thanks to some of these tips. Now I find myself looking at BMWs and Africa Twins. Sand still scares me, but it’s still a bit of fun.

If you're not needing a lot of HP. and want to keep at least 2 grand or more...MORE..back in your pocket in the end. The cb500x 2019 or newer with a Rally Raid kit is a better choice for adventure offroading overall as it's lighter weight than the AF and gets better gas mileage but still has plenty of power for good offroad riding. Don't forget your skid plate...radiator guard. Barkbusters handeguards, engine crash bar set. ;) Trex racing makes decent ones..but there are others that might be a better choice.

@@motoryzen Funny you mention that bike, I’d never heard of it until two days ago, but have been checking it out the last couple days. No, I don’t need a lot of power, just something that’s reliable and handles well. The CB500 seems like a solid choice for all the reasons you say. I got the Versys because I live in the city and have to travel at least an hour before I can even think of seeing a gravel road. The Versys is ideal for 99% of the riding I do, but I’m keen to expand my horizons a bit. I don’t ever intend to be a hardcore dirt rider, but I’d like something that’ll inspire a bit more confidence when the pavement ends. The CB500 seems tempting. Many would say all I’d need on the Versys is some good off-road tyres, I’ve already got the crash bars and skid plate. Ah, too many bike options, not enough garage space!

I just experienced riding on sand a few weeks back ona beach in Costa Rica. Very exciting lots a fun and not to mention beautiful. I was very nervous and hesitant at first. The trickiest parts were getting from the gravel road on to and off the beach. Loose and deep sand. The humid areas were firm and fun at a higher speed. But the other areas was great to practice that consistancy on the gas and a few throttle jerks to get through the deeper stuff without too much since a few freinds ended up either diving into the sand and tipping over or mainly digging into the sand with the rear end and getting stuck. Great experience, looking forward to trying it again and applying the texhniques taught in the video. Greetings from CR🇨🇷

Very different, more like a dance, as you said. Forget about precision. Relax, momentum, slow speed, lots of throttle, correcting with foot pegs and VISION. I liked it. It doesn't feel like you're in control. Some like it, some hate it. Hope to find some deep sand again. Thumbs up from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter

Overall an excellent video. However, as a college physics instructor I will add a little food for thought. The pressure between the tire and the sand (and hence the force per square inch trying to sink the front tire into the sand) is equal to the tire air pressure. Hence reducing tire air pressure will increase floatation in direct proportion to the air pressure reduction. Thus decreasing front tire air air pressure is a very effective way to keep the tire from sinking. Second, the idea of steering with "peg pressure" baffles me and seems to violate a principle of physics that internal forces can not affect external reactions (i.e. you can not lift yourself off the ground by pulling up on your boot laces). In addition the only effective way to put more weight on one footpeg than the other (without putting opposite weighting on the handlebars) is to transfer your body weight to one side or the other. If that is what you mean by steering with the footpegs then it would seem to be a simpler explanation to just say "move your body right or left".
@MOTOTREK
@MOTOTREK 3 жыл бұрын
To you first note - Yes, front wheel floatation is the goal, but reducing too much air pressure risks wheel damage if a hard obstacle is encountered. It's important to replace the tire's air pressure as soon as you're out of the deep sand. To the second - Pressing on the pegs is in effect a way to slightly adjust body weight and slightly counterbalance the bike, as opposed to moving your body left or right with equal peg pressure which delivers a more pronounced weight shift and takes longer to undo. Pressing on a single peg also delivers a kind of sensory confidence that helps your mind balance the bike quickly. - Tim

Man I should've watched this about a week ago. I wanted to test my XT600 in very deep sand. I used to ride a bit in sand about +20 years ago with 125 KMX. I had absolutely forgotten how to ride. First I sat down couple paths and almost turned back as I knew I had about 10km's of quite deep sand in front of me. I was really exhausted after like two km's. Luckily there were some cleaner patches here and there. Then at some point I tried standing up and it already began to feel better, but hard. Then I stopped at one point to take breath and thought riding bit and figured to loosen the grip in bars like less than half and then it began to feel bareable. I know wish I would've tried to control more feet as suggested here. It was quite gnarly trail as it was really deep, but trees very close and occasionally roots pushed to front wheel very quickly. Thanks for the tips. I definitely try to remember that steering with pegs next time 👍

I would have go 100 miles away to try to practice your technique. Speaking that, I’ve also been told of the dragging the rear brake and adding a little throttle. Seems to work but it’s got to be only a short distance thing. If I got confident in sand then loose gravel would fall in line as well. Great video and thank you.

This is WAY harder than it looks! I've tried it! I recommend watch this video a few times. The only thing he didn't mention was you will need to disable the traction control, or it will just keep cutting power when you need it the most.

I dislike riding in sand, it is so hard to manage the rear of the bike and so unpredictable! These tips help. (I hope!) 😎 thanks!

Hi Dusty, Thanks for a great and informative series, much appreciated! Your name is pronounced Vessels...not Wessels...:)) at least here in Africa it is! Kidding aside...I own and ride an R1150GS and am getting better and better in sand, but still mistakes are made and sometimes I pay the price:) Generally, it's in a corner or some really thick stuff where some turning is required when I start to feel out of my depth and slow right down to negotiate it safely. It seems balance and peg-work is the key and it will take more practice. With my 1150, staying up on the pegs, keeping the speed up, and having enough left over to periodically still lift the front wheel with the throttle from time to time, works great and I'm used to that to get through most sand successfully now. However, I usually ride laden with adventure gear (we mainly sleep out under the stars and self-cater), perhaps 30-40kg, and I can't help but feel that this might be a distinct disadvantage when negotiating sand. I hardly ride anywhere, except on tar, unladen, and so I don't really know, or remember a difference thats massive enough for me to notice. In your opinion / experience, how much of a difference would it be riding laden with gear (panniers and a bag strapped behind rider) into sand vs. pretty much unladen? Is it huge, or is it minor? All the best! Steve (South Africa)
