      I don’t ride sand MX in Australia... but I ride 80km of sand on the beach and sand dunes... each way!!! And we have to battle the high tides and water springs... and creek flows... and 4WD tracks... a sand MX tracks looks so much fun... but I am sure SUPER tiring for an old fart like me.

      As an American that has ridden that track multiple it definitely qualifies as a sand track here but not in Europe. However its an awesome track and can get pretty rough which I love. Highly recommend riding there if you get the chance.

  • @rdance3
    @rdance3 Před 10 měsíci

    I'm 58 and just finisher my second hair scramble race in Bartow Florida. I'm watching sand videos because I've been riding a spot that is full of sand. I HATE it! Last time out, I leveled a 15' pine sappling and was trapped between my bike and the tree for about 5 minutes, until one of my buddies back-tracked and lifted the bike off of me. I've since lowered my forks in the tripple tree, lowered the sag, hardened the suspension and went from a 13T to 14T front sprocket. I haven't tested it yet. I was running about 10.5 psi the last ride and felt a little squirely. Next time, I'll try about 12 psi. I fully understand the speed thing and can feel the difference when I go fast in open areas, however, it's really hard to have the confidence to go faster, when your handlebars are inches away from trees. I'm hoping some of the other hacks will give me confidence to go faster.

      I agree with you, the sand is very hard to feel comfortable in when the trail is tight or even the wide open if sand is deep enough.

    I needed this! One of our local tracks is super loose sand and the 3 times I’ve been there so far it wasn’t good at all. My front end just constantly washed out and knifed and I had to save it with throwing my leg down and pulling the bike back up over and over. It was definitely me because most riders were absolutely flying on the track including deep corners.

    Hi, is it possible for you to make a video on re gripping (hands). After all, this is the root to proper albow position.
    I have never really figured this out.
    Do you regrip both hands?
    How far/much do you regrip?
    Same regrip in different corners?
    Would love to see a step by step video on gripping technique.
    Coming in to a corner, standing up breaking, and how you regrip before the transition to acceleration.

    Good luck In 2021!!

    • @yukonjon5964
      @yukonjon5964 Před rokem +1

      big difference. dirt packs down and stays that way unless it has a lot of top-soil loam in it. dirt soaks up water so the more it rains the more it ruts out. dry sand wont pack down and just keeps moving around. the ruts only stay there if you stay in the exact same track. the more it rains the better sand gets. damp sand makes perfect traction and you can go fast with little worry about slipping out. dry sand is awesome too as long as your flying and on the gas. let off the gas slowly in sand and steer with the rear tire more.

      @paulmiller674 Před 3 lety

      The difference is if you have never rode before the 250 is the bike you going to be able to learn on. A two stroke is meant to go fast not to lug around. A four stroke can go slow and not bog a lot. Also a 125 two stroke is very very hard to ride fast.

    • @brucebelknap2088
      @brucebelknap2088 Před 3 lety

      I’m almost 30 and still ride a 125. In fact I’m faster by over 20 seconds on my 125 compared to my 450 last year at one of my local tracks. You can absolutely learn on a 125 and pick on 4 strokes. If your jetting is correct you can lug a 2 stroke all day. They don’t flame out as easy as 4 strokes. A 250 4 stroke initially will be faster, but you’ll find yourself going really slow in corners and flying down straight aways because it’s just so easy to do. On a 125 you are forced to corner well because if you don’t your lap time will suffer.
