Don't fight the bike. Keep the front light and don't over correct. The bike will have a tendency to wander in the sand but you will get use to it.

Besides staying in the pipe another thing I have noticed is that if there are ruts. Move out away from them. I notice that the back end gets realy squily if it starts jumping from rut to rut.

On most rides I use the front brake a lot. Not on sand! Use the rear.

It is allright to be afraid. Ya just can't let fear dictate your actions.

If you are jumping, land with the throttle on. Keep the front end light and keep the gas on.
