Try to carry more pace, and dont argue with your bike just look where you wana go and back yourself, and what ever you do dont look where you dont wana go..... when you see those dirty rutts try to imagine them yelling " dont look at me"

Takes time, such a different animal to learn than road riding, but just keep putting in the time and the nerves won't control your ride after time.

not that you can tell very well but at one point I came to go down a decent hill and panicked and went down so fast, I almost saved it but fell when I hit the bottom, lol.

I find the blue trails easier. Not cut up like the yellow. But your closer to trees.

it's funny you say that, I got separated from my riding buddy for awhile and somehow ended up on the blue track and I was like how the feck am I gonna get out of here, lol. Was alone and stressed as! eventually just got up to 2nd only, stood on the pegs and made my way out, phew! it did seem easier than the yellow tracks

keep those feet on the pegs ..... especially when you have a bit of pace on as if you try to use them you WILL end up n the ground as you are moving to fast to support yourself with hem, easy to damage to yourself that way! Its not a motor cross track so feet should be on the pegs until you stop, Putting feet down while trying to move also takes weight of the rear wheel so you loose traction.... It takes time but that's what you want to try and do

Yes and don't look at what you want to avoid, you will go where you look, as you approach each top spot look for the best way and stay looking at those on your way through.

You will feel those muscles tomorrow for sure

I did notice if I was sitting the back kept washing out and I was all over the show but when I was standing it was much Better. Except when out on the sand with the deepish (to me) rutts it felt like it didn't matter if I was standing or sitting it was all shit. Maybe I was just going to slow eh? I suckKkkkk

ruts standing is good if you look where you want to be... you can weight the side of the bike that you want to head to..... so often you can ride the edge of a rut if you have all of your weight on the side you want run down or to climb out of. I does take time and the trap is looking at the ones you want to avoid as you end up in them!

Beaten sand trails are a bastard at times ... especially when they are soft.

Pfft like hell you do..... not many birds willing to go and give it a go. You should be well proud of yourself blady, alot of blokes to pussy to take the dirt track too for that matter. Its a ruff and rugged road and the fact your out giving it a go speaks volumes. Ul c, even on your next ride I garentee you will be more comfortable

I hope you dont ride the ginny down the road with your legs out like that. Well done.
