Side Note:
These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.
Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.
Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.
Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.
Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.

Short and informative! Well done
🤝🏻 Thanks for letting us know you like the video and the direct approach to the topic 👍🏻
Glad to see you back champ!
Thanks!
Great tips! Keeping the front tire light and up on top of the sand makes a huge difference!
Glad you hear you liked the video! Getting used to that front tire moving around is the hardest part of it. It does take some practice to remain calm as it happens and let the rear tire push you through it.
@@advmotoskillz Yes Sir! Spot on and thanks again!
@@doc650adventures 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I've been watching all your videos. Your channel is super under rated i hope you get more subs! Very clear explanation.
I appreciate that!🙌
One thing for sure, we have great supportive like minded fans such as you, so that makes us happy.
It’s nice to see you making videos again. Great job and keep up the great work!
Thanks! As the weather warms up here, the training season slows down, and I have more time to make videos.
Very well explained and shown 🙌
🤝🏻 Thank you! Hope you are enjoying some warmer weather where you are👍🏻
@@advmotoskillz I put on my shorts 2 weeks ago , rather shocking 😳😂
@@akepettersson4847 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@advmotoskillz Have a great motorcycle season !
We’re driving to Iceland 🇮🇸 in august , but with our own Volvo XC90.
Sadly it’s not my time yet to get back on track on a motorcycle 🤷♂️
Thanks 😊
🤙 Always happy to post a video on sand riding.
Slow down a little. Shift your weight back. No weight on handle bars, light grip. Let your momentum carry you through it. If you need power, light blips.
And… remember to breathe 😅👍🏻
Awesome
🤝🏻 Glad to see that you liked the video! Hope your next sand crossing is a smooth one👍🏻
Excellent... thank you
You are welcome!
I'm sorry for adding a different perspective. If you compress your suspension and in essence execute the beginning of a wheelie, the front end has to come back down and ends up going deeper into the sand, possibly losing control. I think putting weight back, heels down and smooth over the sand with smooth power to the back wheel may be a better option.
👍🏻 Thanks for joining the conversation!
You have made some excellent points.
There is no “one way” about it.
Some entries into a sand transition do not need a suspension compression before hand, just a blip of throttle 👍🏻
Seems I may have enough material here to do a follow up video 😅
At the 3:12 mark in the video, I cross the sand without compressing the suspension because the sand was not deep. Just needed the blip of throttle.
When entering a deep soft patch, it’s almost like doing a belly flop 😅
The whole bike will sink in and then the burst of throttle lifts it up and gets you underway.
Without performing the suspension compression, the front end just spears into the sand.
This is especially true on the leeward side of dunes where the sand is very soft.
Take a look at the suspension compression I use at 0:19
mark in the opening of the video. Without getting that little bit of lift, I would have just driven into the sand like Wile E. Coyote😅
Thanks for the reply. I think the best thing we can do is find some soft dirt and practice these techniques and learn from it. Thanks for taking the time to film and communicate back.
@@mikefoltynskiThanks for sharing your thoughts on the video 👍🏻
For sure, getting out there and trying different approaches is the best way to learn.
That’s one thing I didn’t think of about is previously driven on sand, your advice makes sense to ride on sand that has been driven on.👍
That’s all good advice, Thank you.🙏
Glad it was helpful! They only way to get comfortable with riding sand... is to ride more sand 😅. Hope you have some great rides this season.
the unridden sand normally looks higher than the sand that was driven on
@@SteveHofsaess Depends on the slope of the road/trail and how the wind blew it across.
The “fresh” stuff always has nice ripples across the surface 👍🏻
@@SteveHofsaessThat has been my experience (and I live in the desert). That was also my experience riding Baja.
@@williamb.6918 👍🏻 I’d love to ride in Baja sometime 🤙🏻

@@advmotoskillz Thank you! 👍👍
There is a dirt road on top of a beach with sand dunes in my area . That path has patches of sand that are like tiny sand dunes themselves and really f***** deep, like half a metre. If I try to go thru that with open thottle I most certainly pick up too much speed and as a result get such violent wobbles that I get thrown of the bike
Too much speed and wobbles are a scary combination for sure! Have you seen my

There is a brief discussion on how to approach dunes in that video🤙

Good video, if thats how the roads are there, how about tips for guys on cruisers that are on those roads and encounter this?
Cruisers on sand can be a challenge for sure. Not a lot of ground clearance on those. I've trained a few riders on how to get their naked/sport bikes through sand... that was fun.
Achh 20 years a go a passing it for full throttle on my yamaha 250 dt .... I know it's light motorcycle... But what is diff😂
Can you please explain why not to prefer parts of sand that have been driven over by other vehicles? doesn't this make it more hardpacked?
Yes, sand that has not been driven over tends to be more packed down. This "firmer" sand supports the bike more when driving on it.
@@advmotoskillz but you're saying not to ride on it
@@lefterisbampaidis5446 The areas that cars have driven over, the sand is actually softer than areas that have not been driven over.
Heavy vehicles create a dust plume and that sand then settles ontop. This soft layer makes it difficult to ride as compared to sand that has not been driven over 👍🏻

I cover this topic again in the video if it’s not clear. 👍🏻
@@advmotoskillz extremely interesting. I was in Tunisia last month and came across many of these. I always tried to cross them from the already driven stripe when there was one. Thanks.
