I hear you on the practice! Around Yuma, we don't have much in the way of dirt, but it's all sand, like trying to ride through a Southern California beach, but without the babes, cool weather (now), or ocean. I rode down the street to a place nicknamed "Jackrabbit" which is an open sand area with small hills, jumps, etc. Mostly its a place to get to quickly, especially if your driving a 4 x 4 and don't feel like driving to the Imperial Sand Dunes. Many a quad is there on the weekends.
I just got back from a slow run through there, and forgot what a bitch it is to ride through sand. The bike seems to want to throw you off first twitch. I didn't mess around with air pressure as I just pulled off there on a whim from my street riding. I need lots of practice on sand, to say the least!
