I keep trying, had a set back in March and broke some ribs. Great thing about sand, it’s wide open and fast and you can really get creative with picking your lines. The bad thing is crashing always sucks but it hurts a lot worse at speed. Never thought I’d be testing the suspension on a full up 450 motocrosser...and loving it. But I do miss the woods. Take care Brother.

Didn't figure you'd use 1st or 2nd very much and unloading at speed has it's drawbacks. Good luck on the ribs. One of those been there and done that things (broke 4) and did not have a good time. Could only sleep sitting up, sucked. It does look like fun just don't think I could do it for years like you have. Be careful and enjoy yourself on the bike.

Misoriented yes...but never lost (LOL). Sun orientation/GPS watch for quick azimuth/course corrections and know your barriers (study Google maps). 60-70 kms of uninterrupted dunes between gas stops...awesome.
