The one time I was keeping my weight back to float above the sand, and all of a sudden I was at full throttle in 2nd gear sliding around trees, etc. Need to remember to keep a finger on the clutch because I couldn't rotate my hand to slow the bike. Would have made a great Funny Home Video.
Been watching Ariemann1 since someone posted this video. Skip to 10:19, he's GETTIN' IT in the sand, ending with a sweet slow-mo shot. Is that what you looked like?
