Sunset Sand Dune Rip on my 2019 YZ450FX! Saint Anthony Dunes

Sunset is the ideal time to ride the dunes as the shadows get long and the definition of the bumps and hills gets significantly better. This was most likely the funnest sand dune ride of my life. Absolutely perfect!

Hello! Is it okay to feature your video in moto edit? You will get full credit for it. Thanks

[@TheMitchForrest]

Sure thing 🤘🏻

[@chrisprice279]

How do you think the FX compares to the YZ450F on the dunes? I’m debating between the two.

[@TheMitchForrest]

They’ll run basically the exact same.

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

How stable is the chassis on your bike at high speed? Looks pretty solid

[@TheMitchForrest]

J definitely the most stable chassis in stock form I’ve owned!

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

@@TheMitchForrest Nice dude. You were rippin it WOT on some sections and that thing seemed straight as an arrow. Nice bike man one day I'll have one. How does the motor compare to other 450's? I hear the Yamaha's are up near the top as far as power.

[@TheMitchForrest]

J it’s my favorite motor by far. Lots of grunt everywhere and I doesn’t flame out as easy as other bikes.
Plus they are #1 for reliability

[@johnnieours8187]

That's right next to where I live! But only went to choke cherry a few times but I've made it up every time

[@TheMitchForrest]

Johnnie Ours super fun!

[@joshkelly2996]

[@TheMitchForrest]

Sure thing. 450s rip.

[@joshkelly2996]

@@TheMitchForrest alr thank u alot

[@olivert7850]

That’s looks so sick wish we had this in Victoria Australia but you have to be up around Western Australia for the dunes that are legal to ride. They take environmental preservation and conservation very seriously here

[@TheMitchForrest]

Oliver Craft wouldn’t want to hurt any sand 😜😆

[@olivert7850]

Forrest Films I know right

[@MR-04]

Can A Yamaha YZ 250F Pull Though or do you need a 450?

[@TheMitchForrest]

It’s possible to ride out there on a 250, but you’ll want more power for sure.

[@MR-04]

@@TheMitchForrest Thanks for the answer 👍 i think i’ll stick with the 250 for now since it’s my first trip to the dunes but i’ll take a look at some 450’s then.

[@ashleyd3420]

What gearing do you run?

[@TheMitchForrest]

Stock

[@roryinker9973]

What map you running for the sand ?

[@TheMitchForrest]

Mx power feeling

[@jaredthompson8188]

I just put my flag in my camel pack works great

[@TheMitchForrest]

Jared Thompson I used to do that, but I hate how it feels. In attack position it always slaps my helmet haha

[@jaredthompson8188]

@@TheMitchForrest I cut an old number plate down and duck taped the flag to it so it angles backwards, doesnt slap my helmet or neck brace. Plan on getting the zenxten one but I feel like I'd break it putting my leg over

[@TheMitchForrest]

Jared Thompson that’s dope. Our last ride we found another zen x ten as we were leaving. I’ve got one for future now 👌🏻
