I got my first dirt bike on septemper last year and I've done a fairly big amount of sand riding. But when the winter came here in Finland I had to get studded tires and start riding in snow. And riding in snow is HARD. I feel like I've learned so much from shredding in the snow that I'll be much better rider when the snow melts again. It really works your loosenes on the bike and improves your balance. If you want to see some winter riding from beautiful snowy Finland then check my channel!

After I got faster and the rear wheel more loaded, it was excellent. But cornering is a big problem in deep sand at all. If you get in the wrong lane, ground contact is guaranteed, and with good speed can hurt ;-)

Living in Florida all my life and riding in this sugar sand since 1967, I have found, its like if you compare sand to a boat and water. Keep it going on top and trimmed out. Keeping the front tire light, so it does not sink in. Dont turn the front wheel, lean for corners and stay on the gas. When starting off. Go fast, get up on plane as soon as possible. The slower you go, the harder it is.

Hey Barry--I have spent a lot of time living on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and have learned a lot about driving on the beach. The locals will take two wheel drive cars; cut out the fender wells; fit worn-out racing slicks and drive anywhere they want. Contrary to intuition, aggressive tires (like knobbies) are worse in sand because they dig into the sand. Slick tires allow you to ride on top of the sand, which is what you want to do. At the very least you want “street” tires rather than aggressive tires. I would routinely drop pressure to about 18 lbs and go pretty much everywhere using 2-wheel drive with street tires. PS However, on a dirt bike you need knobbies or paddle tires for traction-dirt bikes are much lighter and need help with traction but, I wonder if a front street tire would work better in sand? And, would a trials rear tire work better in sand? Thanks your training videos are the best-- Bob White, Dirt Bike Boot Camp

I've been trying out riding in the snow since it is the only option at the moment. As all we have is snow. I tried going at it in full confidence and fair speed, and crashed. I went slow and let the bike do it's thing, I was fine. On the edge, but fine. Trouble with snow is that it's not uniform. That day I had a soft layer on top and tough crunchy stuff underneath. Also, everything looks level with snow as all the ruts and bumps have been smoothed over. Makes predicting the path quite tricky. It could be also, that more experience is needed. And better tires, not the worn out tkc80 I have on the back.. :D

My recommendation is studded knobbies with 5mm studs in the middle and 7-8mm studs at the sides. This is what I have as a rear tire on my winter bike and it has served me really well: www.satapiikki.fi/epages/satapiikki.sf/fi_FI/?ObjectPath=/Shops/20130626-11092-229135-1/Products/17MIC02323VKE When using studded tires on dry concrete, be real gentle with the throttle or the studs on the rear tire will wear out real quick. But if you only intend to ride offroad, then there's no reason not to go for spiked tires.

I only ride in sand. Harder stuff and deep white sugar too. Using a higher gear can give more traction, but if you get into something ugly and you’re concerned about falling - drop a gear and grab a whole handful!! The engine revs and tire spin will make the bike want to stay upright. Once you feel the stability is back, then move your ass way back and get that rear tire to grab and put on some speed to get the front unweighted more. Up shift and get your speed back where you want it. This is really helpful if you allowed the bike’s revs to drop as you’re learning and a particular spot you’re entering caused your leather cheerio to immediately start eating seat! Gas and go might be bog and fall if you aren’t ready for a quick down shift!

Talking about front tyre width, I decided to ride the Trans America Trail on a 690 SMCR rather than an Er because I thought that the wider front tyre would make thousands of miles of sand riding easier. It didn't, it made it far harder work which just proves that I come up with too many really stupid theories for my own good. Repairing punctures without removing the tyre was easy though due to the tubeless rims on the SMCR, but take it from me, a 21 inch front wheel is a much better option but then you knew that already.

I hope you get to really try out snow in the future. With studded tires and frozen ground under the snow it is something different to sand. The studds really messes with what is grippy and not, stones become slippery as hell and treeroots become your best friend. Finding them under the snow is the hardest part :) also snow builds up in your pegs and your boots become slippery like glass in the cold so its like standing on two glass balls in a glass slipper :D Meanwhile you are freezing your hands and nuts off.. Winter is pure hell ;)

Is speed in the sand important? (well yes- but also not so much) Barry, I have learned so much from your videos, keep up the good work. Maybe I missed something or I am splitting hairs-- but are you really saying riding in sand requires more speed and the ‘just gas it’ is now a valid technique? Won’t higher speeds, for a beginner, simply mask basic balance problems, sand or no sand? For the beginner I say focus more/first on the video's points about the importance of throttle control. Suitable acceleration(s), not speed per say, is how ‘in-control’ sand riders do their thing-. In essence a series of accelerations (throttle control) are how beginner to pro continually catch their moving balance (in sand or otherwise). Also it’s acceleration(s) rather than just high speed per say that keeps the front wheel light while in sand. Anyway, for a true sand beginner, doesn’t it make sense to first practice how to “catch” your balance with the throttle-and do so on some flatter, easier sand and while at lower speeds? Yes this might be harder, more wobblely, even more low speed tip overs-- but safer and with stronger end results. Once you can ride somewhat slow in the sand using throttle control to maintain one’s control/balance-then slowly increase speeds. And as speed increases (also slope, side slope, sand depth etc) all the other techniques in the video will make even more sense. IE: it really is all easier (and fun) at speed-but only once you know what you are doing with said speed….
@crosstrainingenduro
6 жыл бұрын
that's probably a whole video topic on its own marshal. i meant just gas it until you are 'planing' over the sand but yes a beginner will still need to have a good sense of balance before doing that safely. at least soft sand means minimal injuries though in the learning process!

Snow: ride one gear higher, stay off steep cambers - tires will slide out under you easy, snow hides ruts - crossing then can throw you on your butt, stay away from front brake in most cases, dry powdery snow behaves different than wet snow, bring hot chocolate

Thanks for another great video! These tipps will greatly help my technique! :) I always was impressed with James riding skills when I started watching the trial videos. Dickheads commenting on his weight are just jealous. You banning them is absolutely the right thing to do!!!

i guess so. only repeating what others have said, i never bother dabbling with my suspension settings.
