This Will Make You HATE Sand | Continental Divide Ride

[@Rlbert]

tips for sand? go faster, keep the front light, always stay on the gas!!! Front starts to dig and you roll off the throttle its only gonna get worse

[@MotoMission.]

Yep. Gotta twist it. I survived. Loved Wyoming

[@MotoMission.]

That sand got really nasty. I am so glad i had the new tires.

[@FrancoisTX1974]

Love my Sunday morning routine, my coffee and 2 of my favorite ADV videos, Itchy boots and you. Thank you, now I can go to work.

[@MotoMission.]

Ah man that’s so awesome to hear. I like itchy boots a lot. She is wonderful.

[@FrancoisTX1974]

@@MotoMission. for sure she lives the Adventure with a big A but you too, the A is not as big because country are less exotic and you’re cheating with your lovely wife support😉. Continue to make me dream.

[@schneefoen]

Like @FrancoisTX1974, I am also an Itchy Boots admirer. My wife and I sit together on the sofa on Wednesday and Sunday evenings and enjoy their adventures. In my opinion, Itchy Boots and you, Brock, actually have a lot in common. Both provide us with beautiful pictures on the screen, both show us the surroundings while driving, in a very pleasant way. It's not f-word swearing every other sentence and it's not constantly judging other people. But that's just my two cents.

[@MotoMission.]

I cheat. Haha. Love it

[@MotoMission.]

That’s wonderful and encouraging feedback I think Noraly is incredible and I hope to meet her someday. I have lots of questions for her. What a story.

[@lamardurden8460]

I lived in Destin, FL. for 4 years. It made me hate sand. Sand in your shoes , sand in your truck, sand in your bed. It never ends.

[@osimnod]

More stunning scenery in WY! And that presentation on a pitch fork --- that beats Bobby Flay.

[@MotoMission.]

Yeahhhh

[@jamespressly6303]

Sand skills for sure!!!!

[@MotoMission.]

Was a good place to be tested. Haha

[@maxostrowski5269]

Brock, haven’t watched your videos in awhile but wow, your editing is night and day from before. Definitely enjoy watching your content and I’m living vicariously through you lol awesome exploring. I’m in Florida and I ride my 890 in deep sand all the time. Either sitting or standing, get your butt (weight) close to the tank (middle of bike) and keep weight neutral (on top of bike). Let the bike tilt into corners and keep power at all times. The front will stay afloat as long as you have power. 2nd and 3rd always works for me and I’m usually never in first. At least 25 mph. It’s scary but soon you’ll be ripping through it with ease. Also, keeping eyes ahead and not below you works wonders so you aren’t adjusting steering for potential obstacles (you’ll be surprised that the tire will just push through almost anything. Good luck with the rest of your adventures!

[@MotoMission.]

Huge thank you. Maybe I will see ya in Florida sometime

[@dirtpirateracing1629]

The sand looked gnarly, but the unique food experience looked amazing!!! That was definately a once in a lifetime!! Keep the amazing videos coming! Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@MotoMission.]

It was gnarly sand. But that food was so good! Thanks for watching. I will keep on filming !

[@BroadwayT660]

Looks like great "eats". What an atmosphere !

[@MotoMission.]

Fantastic eats. Let’s go back !

[@OneTakeSunday]

Man Brock, voluntarily doing a 37 mile loop of sand that others avoid, kudos. I would avoid it like the plague! Dinner looked awesome. God Bless.

[@MotoMission.]

Good point! I need to check myself in and have my head checked. :)

[@daviddrabek5834]

Man what a cool restaurant! Amazing trip and love the Bible verse!! 🙌🏼

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah that places rocks. Glad you like that verse too. Very fitting one for the video huh

[@BS-sf8ug]

Great video. The mapping reminded me of Raiders of the lost Ark. Both educational and a good artistic touch. Both you and your wife stay safe. God bless.

[@MotoMission.]

Ahhh. Yeah. It does feel like that. Having fun on this one. Thanks for watching

[@danstaten7767]

Hey Brock, I met the same guy (Bernard) riding the ICDR Just north of the Colorado border heading towards Medicine Bow National Forest. Then it rained the next 3 days. Colorado was a bust for me and I'm sure he struggled as well..... Keep'm coming

[@MotoMission.]

No way !!!

[@MotoMission.]

I managed to avoid the rain

[@MrHamish54]

Brock, your videos are so well done. Thank you for letting us relive our CDR ride last year. That WY sand was a handful. Good you didn't need to get gas in Atlantic City at Wild Bills. Only $10/gal. What a treat finding the Pitchfork fondue.

[@MotoMission.]

$10?!?! Oh wow.

[@rustyspiker3569]

Great Ride Brock. Glad you had a safe trip and some pitch fork food. Happy days.

[@MotoMission.]

I’m missing some pitch fork steak right now

[@bradwelch4076]

Great ride Brock! A long section of trail like that leaves you with alot of time to think and reflect. I can't wait to ride this.

[@MotoMission.]

Yes. Epic ride for sure

[@kylezehr1793]

You picked the perfect scripture to share at the end of a video where you rode a bunch of sand!

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. How bout that one

[@mell8831]

Brock you are an elite rider! You have amazing riding skills and we all learn a lot from you!! 👍🏼

[@MotoMission.]

You are too kind! Thank you. Now let’s go ride at the same time somewhere ! Let’s ride

[@Motoramblings]

Now that’s how dinner should be served!!! 😂😂😂

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Ain’t that crazy ?

[@Motoramblings]

@@MotoMission. that was!!

[@Desert2snowoffwego]

Brock, I have to say you did Injustice to Atlantic City and South pass City especially by not stopping and filming what's in both of those places!

[@MotoMission.]

Yep. I should be fired. I wish I had more time to see it all. Keep me accountable. :)

[@schneefoen]

It seems to me that the Bible verse at the end is again almost metaphorically fitting for the sandy passages that you rode through so confidently after Rawlins WY. And as a Swiss, I can only agree with Bernard, the Frenchman: I also like all the countries that allow me to ride on such beautiful roads (Ténéré 700). However, as a beginner, which I am, I would hardly or certainly not have mastered the sandy passages.

[@MotoMission.]

Haha. Yeahhh. I understand that. The sand will challenge everyone there. It made for a long day.

[@MeerkatADV]

Lots of cattle between Rawlins and Boulder. They just churn that stuff to mush.

[@MotoMission.]

I’ve been trying to make friends w those cows

[@wiscokid4395]

Your editing is cool. @4:11

[@MotoMission.]

Big thanks

[@Motoramblings]

Hi Bernard!! He must have been lonely not seeing another rider!!!

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. That is a lonely ride for sure

[@dozerman2141]

Ok Brock I live in Myrtle Beach. SC.. Easy sand hack.. riding in gear higher then u would normally on road.. the engine brake will dump you if u don't

[@MotoMission.]

Need you to teach a clinic. South Carolina has lots of sand !

[@drivenrc]

I just followed. Still remember when you came to Truett McConnell college and rode a dirt bike blind folded 😂

[@MotoMission.]

Ahhhhh yeah. I remember that Loved that college

[@drivenrc]

@@MotoMission.bro that was epic and will remember that for the rest of my life.

[@MotoMission.]

So cool to hear that

[@Motoramblings]

That sand sure does look nasty!

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. It had some very deep spots that were challenging

[@martincyr7259]

''Great for my character to do hard things.'' I like that. I'm planning on riding the WYBDR next summer. I realise that I will have to practice my skills in the sand to get through it safely, but I will have to learn as I go along. What would you recommend as a basic skill? Would it be leaning back and standing up? Is faster safer? I appreciate the quote at the end. Thank you Brock for another amazing video! Go far feel good! 👍

[@MotoMission.]

Thanks my friend. Yeah the sand is very technical Higher gear. Weight back. Stand up as much as possible. No front brake. Keep the front end lightweight and don’t fight it. Let the bike move around. Balls of feet on pegs. And relax. Remember to breathe. And pray a lot. :)

[@martincyr7259]

Thank you for the advice Brock! Greatly appreciated. 👍

[@MotoMission.]

Holler any time

[@ArizonaAdv]

SAND ? come to Arizona We can literally ride all day in it . weight neutral steady speed . sand really isn't difficult relax let the bars move look where your going to fast you have zero room for correction .steady comfortable speed don't listen to someone who wants you to ride outside your comfort zone by going FAST. fast enough to stay afloat and ""RIDE ON"" great videos .

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. I have heard about the legendary sand in AZ. Florida gave me a sand training session that I will not soon forget. Maybe I’m ready for AZ

[@thecorporategypsy]

The WYBDR was my fav of all but you are not on it. WY is beautiful

[@thecorporategypsy]

Ok that video trick of you passing yourself was very cool

[@MotoMission.]

Yeah. This is farther west I think. I have heard the Wundt has a lot of sand. True?

[@MotoMission.]

:) Thanks

[@thecorporategypsy]

@@MotoMission. the WYBDR had virtually no sand. According to locals the sand comes about when there is high heat and no rain. When it rains its impassible for several days. We saw deep ruts like you showed from where someone came thru when things were soft

[@MotoMission.]

Oh. Ok. Yeah I think they call this the Great Basin. Deep fluffy powdery sand. And it went for miles and miles!
