another tip riding in the sand and whoops............if you ever start to swap out( @ss end hopping from left to right violently) PIN IT!!!!
its one of the scariest things that you will encounter when learning to ride. when it happens your natural reaction is to let off the gas to slow down, when you do, you swap even more violently and end up high siding and crash............oweeee......... i know it sounds odd but im tellin you......when you start to swap, PIN IT AND LEAN BACK!
in the sand your gonna want to stand but lean back, have your butt 2-3 inches from the seat and in turns put your butt on the seat and hang a cheek off the isnide part of the seat( turning left in sand at a high speed, hang a cheeck off to the left)
on big sweeping turns, lets say a left sweeper in third, come in to the turn with good speed, start turning left by giving a blip on the throttle, throw a cheeck off to the inside slightly and drop your left shoulder slightly. your rear end will than break loose,but when you blip dont let off when you break loose, you could high-side. blip but stay on the gas through the whole turn when it does put pressure on your right foot peg and bring your shoulder back up. keep your bars pointed and the end of the turn and look THROUGH the turn not at the dirt infront of your tire. keep your bike drifting through the turn until you've completed the turn and are heading straight again.
it will take practice but once you get that down you'll have a blast. that turn would be done with both feet on the pegs. you can practice with your inside foot off the peg but be in like second,not going to fast, and have your foot flat on the dirt and your knee slightly bent. but be careful not to put to much weight on the inside foot cuz it will cause you to slide out. keep pressure on the right peg.
it takes practice and takes bike controll and balance but youll get it!
