MY bro and I went to the sandpit yesterday for the first time (riden the mx before but was only briefly and never riden sand so didn't like it) but we both really loved it out there. Did mainly the yellow and green tracks with a couple blue. Had a great time and am looking forward to heading back out there SOON!

HUGE difference riding in the sand (well on the sand). If you go to slow you start to track all over, the front washes out and the back is all over the show. Keep the speed up, weight on the pegs not the seat and steer with your knees.

Will be back out there this coming wednesday

The guys have done some really good things at the park and its much more fun than it used to be as far as some nice tight trails go. I won't mention the lack of whoops which I now suck at!
