What I learned from this video:
Hold on loosely, don't let go.
If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.
That kind of sounds like a song....eh, nevermind, it won't sell.
Brilliant!
Too funny! You win the internet.
I'd buy that. I nominate Celine Dion for vocals. ~RF9
Yeah. Now that is in my head... forever. Seriously clever though!
Sand on my GSA is admittedly my weak link and your so right about going out and finding sand to practice in. The problem is in the Midwest there just ain’t much of it. Great advice, though, thanks 🙏
Mototrek plus Fortnine? It's UA-cam motorcycling gold!!
Perfect combination. More!!!
Yes, great to see a collaboration for the betterment of motorcycle rider knowledge and skill. Bravo
Glad to see RyanF9 in your video.
Good, were there any more videos of them both together?
Ahaaa... professor Ryan Surprise!
Profressor Ryan is the name of the guy with half burned eyebrows?
I love it! My two favorite Moto vloggers in one video!
I agree!
Legit the best duo, mototrek and fortnine are my gotos for adv and general motorcycling info.
IT made me LOL
Brian Wagnon ditto on that. Noob here. 100 miles on my new TW 200. I love Ryan and Fort Nine and getting to really appreciate Brent and MotoTrek. Dan, Dan the fireman is helping too. All great teachers to learn from mentally before I ride and when I ride and reenforce.
Nice collaboration with F9! I always have a smile on my face through sand until I have sand in my teeth.
Two masters in one video . That was awesome breakfast of knowledge . Thnx love from India
Just bring +spurge (ig: @thefixxer) from +revzilla and it will be my most favourite video.
Hdt customs good to see you here 😊
Great to see Brett and Ryan collaborating on this one. Nice juxtaposition of presentation styles.

It was a cool video then he kicked it over to Ryan. I'm like "ok, time to click that thumbs up don't even care what Ryan says!
HOLY SHIT IT'S F9
Cool to see this explained what I learned through trial and error in Mongolia. One can only wipe out so many times before going "screw it I'm hitting it fast on the next patch". Did it on the next section of super soft, 95kmh or so, held my breath, flew through it. Life was never the same after that, what a rush. Having that "fuck it" moment helps a lot I reckon to put aside that fear you mentioned.
...did you use the rear brake like Brett suggested would raise the front wheel...or did you just use lots of throttle?
Hey Pedro, one thing to remember is that Brett and Ryan ride BMW's........you got to ask yourself,"but can they do it on an overloaded Transalp????"😀😀😀😀😀😀..........gotta love the fact that 3 (Brett, Ryan AND Pedro) of the best youtubers feature here.....awesome vid!
What a surprise! The two greatests moto-story-tecnique-tellers together! Great video! As always.
The two best motorcycling guys on the internet. I think I had a bikegasm...great tips debunking the bullshit out there. An excellent technical description of why the bike self corrects. Thankyou!
There you go my Favourites in one video Daaaaaam, Way to go and as Bret says always look ahead not down, Also Tim that was a fab execution cheers guys keep rocking
Cheers to the 2 best dudes on motorcycles!
Very informative and comforting. I loved seeing Ryan.
Maybe the best motorcycle instructional video ever. Really great job guys! Thanks!
Bret and Ryan are on track to take over the motorcycle internetz! awesome!
Fortnine & Mototrek together.... awesome guys....keep the collaboration going👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Great to see you and Ryan creating content together! Keep up the great work!
Yes! Awesome collaboration!
Great subject. Fantastic footage. Fun collaboration. Well done and thank you.
Thanks so much for the info. Something this old guy will have to go out and get used to. Thanks also to Ryan for the input. I learned something today, again!
Awesome to see Ryan on here, great team you two would make. Thanks
Mototrek and Fortnine are my favourite channels. Great guys and great techniques!
Great to see a collaboration for the betterment of motorcycle rider knowledge and skill. Bravo
I love it! my 2 favorite you tubers on another great production. Brett-Ryan you dudes are studs
Really nice class. Good to see Ryan in the video! Keep the channel going! You're doing an excellent work! Kudos from Rio!
two of the best, Mototrek and FortNine, thanks for teaming up.
Great video Bret. Excellent explanation of the basic sand riding techniques.
I have to say: yours are among the best instruction videos on the internet. Not flashy, detailed and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am an riding veteran of 30+ years, but an absolute novice in adventure riding. You make it look sooo easy, but I love the videos and am trying to learn. Thanks!
I've been racing MX and off-road for over 40 years and decided I needed a 500LB 1290? It's definitely a new ball game with this beast, especially in tight single track and deep sand. Practice is my friend. These videos are great.
Amazing video and a great surprise! Thanks, guys!
This is the BEST DUO EVER. Awesome video brother. 👏👏👏
Love to see the collab with Ryan! More please.
Getting an ADV soon and just learning about this channel. I really love the advice, and seeing Ryan here is just the cherry on top :) Big smile on my face.
I went offroad for the first time today on a 99 Honda Varadero XL1000V. I had watched a good number of your vids before today and they really helped me keep the big old bus upright. Its a totally different set of skills from road, so thank you for the informative videos, they made my trip with friends enjoyable rather than disastrous. Many thanks from Australia
Thanks, Bret and Tim. Nice video for newbie dirt riders like me. Trail braking for nose-up-sand-riding was a new concept for me for sure.
Ryan AND Brett. Now that's an adroit combination.
More please.
Not as adroit as your use of "adroit." Respect. ~RF9
W0w, nice tutorial! Best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. Now I want to find some sand!
I love the fact that I always come back to your videos to get a refresh lesson, as we forget the basics and keep doing the same mistakes when we ride. Also very happy you and Ryan teamed up on this video, you both are my favorite motorcycle UA-cam Channels that I always look forward to watching and learning.
same here - just did that today in fact!
Great advice.
So you here after you own an Himalayan 😛....
That was a good lesson and the first alternative I have seen to opening the taps..
Thank you
Thanks for this great sharing of knowledge Brett and RFN! Really appreciate the work y'all do.
You're welcome!
Great information. I’ve been told over and over again. Gas it hold on. Not anymore. Good job and thanks to the both of you. KLR Jim
Awesome content, the conveyance of the technical explanation of rake and its effects in the sand was very well done! Learned something today!
I've had so many different kinds of advice over the years, and I had developed a fear. What you said about having the right attitude, and letting the bike go where it wants... I had a *lot* of fun in the sand and I never thought that was possible. Thank you for that.
just watched this div over again and got amazed second time:) great job!
good tips. i'd also like to add more sag to the rear shock if its an adjustable unit. decrease air pressure a bit too. Also, the BMW GS is a bad example for Ryans explanation, which btw, is absolutely spot on. The question to ask is, Why has BMW dumped his telelever for the HP2. My answer for is that the front wheel kinematics was "refusing bumps" for the telelever setup.
Technicians will agree that a wheel is refusing bumps when the tire patch is accelerating on bumps, but on the contrary with a telescopic fork, the wheel has to decelerate on bumps and therefore is swallowings bumps. This is why Moto-cross bikes have got less vertical fork tubes. BMW's approach with the GS was: "With touring bikes, it's not so bad : just shaking your forearms a bit when accelerating on a bumpy road" .. this is why the HP2 does not have a telelever, nor did any of thier works bikes.
Truly the most wondedfull knowledge on riding motorcycles. What I learned is to take it easy and the bike will be in yiur control. You get tense, the bike will feel it and fight you back.
Best explanation of how to ride on sand I've seen so far - Thank you!
Great video, thanks to you both!!
Great information, I am always learning on this channel. Love that you had Ryan on. You two are my favourite UA-cam creators by far.
Was barreling down a dirt road the other day and came up on 8"+ deep loose sand heavy rutted by heavy equipment doing 50++kmph. Sure glad I had watched this video a few times, and even happier I remembered everything you said. The road was like this for over 2km so I ran it out.
I must admit I was very proud of myself and thankful for the channel.
Did you maintain 50 kph throughout? Did the front end squirm a lot at that speed?
Great info as always, love the moto wisdom gained in experience
Great combo with Ryan F9, keep it up
All in all, your videos and knowledge are the best in training new and old adventure riders.
I have doing much of these things instinctively but it was great to hear these things being pointed out. Very useful
Awesome video! Thanks for creating it! 👏👏👏👏
This video is one of the best for me ! Great job !
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I always enjoy your attitude but facing your challenges on the trail
These slow-mo's are pieces of art!
Mototrek and FortNine, my two favorite moto channels combined! Great work gents!! Yeah, I be scared of sand. This helps, but I will be seeking direct pro instruction soon, and practicing.
My favorite skills guy and my favorite review guy in the same video! Thanks!
great as always
it was very cool to see ryan in your video!!! nice move!!
This was my first time seeing the channel. Excellent production quality and I learned a thing or two as well. Subscribed.
fortNine for the win
Your videos are the Most helpful I‘ve found here so far. 🏍💚👍
Very cool to see Ryan on the video. Both of you guys are great. Cheers!!
Really cool to see you guys hook up. Met Ryan a few times in Montreal. Real stand up guy and fun to ride with.
Seems like i am not the only one here loving these two guys on the Tube. Natural match! Please do some more stuff together: You’re like a motorcyling encyclopedia 🤓
Nice job once again..well done .. well explained
Simply great content all over the place!
My two favorite motorcycle channels on UA-cam joining forces? And on a particularly interesting topic I needed help with? This deserves a comment. Here, thank you guys!!

Ooooooomg! Ryan! Awesome! Both Chanel are the best!
Awesome to see both of you on the same video. I’m consistently alternating your videos!
I learnt one thing out of this video that I'd never thought about. Thank you. Subscribed
Bret, thank you so much for always reminding us of the positive attitude 🙃
Your videos are super helpful 💪
Love seeing our Spokane, Washington ORV park put to the test! A great place to practice just about every type of terrain...sand included!
Bret,
I ride an Africa Twin, so I follow you (and the oh-so charming-and-technical Ryan/Fortnine) regularly. I saw a Sporty in your office during your phone cut, and it prompted me to comment.
My other car is a "Road King," and while traveling today, coming through a small town, I found myself on a road that was undergoing re-surfacing, and they had scraped the old tarmac off, leaving Ines akin to rain grooves, parallel, but squiggling at Radom departure angles. The grooves were not linear. I found myself using your sand technique by letting the bike self correct, using a light-touch on the bars. What a leap of faith -- the bike, with my large arse on it exceeds 1000 lbs.
The epiphany was like a light-bulb over my helmet, and turned "snake-creepy" into, "Wow, I just learned something!" It's fortuitous that your subject, today, was spot-on pertinent to todays experience. Nice to be affirmed by a rider as talented as you.
Thank-You,
Mike
Amazing as usual. Thank you
You guys have unleashed the power of the engineer gone adventure rider mind! I really appreciate the explanation of this "phenomena". I have learned on my mountain bike, as I down hill a sketchy spot, to let the bike roll and let it dance in your hands "light hands, light feet". This gives me confidence to trust it. I guess i'm NOT just lucky! guess I should stop playing the lottery after a successful ride! Thanks again. Great tips!
Thanks for the Videos. I remember the moment I relaxed my grip and said to myself if I wreck I wreck, Well I didn't wreck and found my confidence in the sand patches that appear on the trails I ride. Haven't tried feathering my rear break yet. I will think about that next time.
that surprise collaboration just made my day
Glad to hear that, Steven!
Nice job, Brett! Very helpful.
Mug of tea, toast and marmalade, whilst watching a great Mototrek video= Perfect breakfast for me. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for this video! I had seen it some weeks before. Yesterday I had my first deep sand experience and I reminded your tipps about.
And...it works well!!! Your channel is the best!
Great news, Daniel!
Almost spit my coffee when Ryan F9 showed up! That was fantastic fun
I really appreciate this video. Deep Sand has always been my Nemesis...
heeeeyyy 2 of my favs motovloggers in 1 vid! awesome!
I used to ride a 1100xx blackbird, but due to soreness in shoulders and back ( ok it’s an age thing )I purchased a Triumph Tiger 1200. Awsome bike and so comfortable. I am getting a lot out of these videos and so much to learn. I wish these guys were out here in Australia.
Thanks 😁
Good explanation guys. Just learned these things after my latest motocamping trip with a lot of sandy dirt road. Gained a lot of experience from that trip. Good vid.
My two favorite MotoTubers in one video! One more example of how real greats
usually have the humility to work well with others. Cheers!
Cheers, Chris!
