I'm a "new to dirt" bike rider, and these videos really help to get me mentally prepared to go out there and get some good experience under my belt - hopefully without starting out with a ton of bad habits. It is much easier to learn good habits starting out than to break bad habits, and it is very different riding dirt than on the street. Thank you for making these vids. :)
Same here I rode dirt first but not a lot .. I rode the street, canyons and the track... then a friend put me on to “a twist of the wrist” by Keith code... after I attended California super bike school .. the video and the class was the best decision I ever made.... change my riding 100% ... went from a really slow unsafe rider to a good B rider ... I’m back in the dirt again I got myself a couple small pit bikes and then I got a new yz250fx... I’ve been try to educate myself as much as possible and trying to bring as much experience and info as i can from the street ... I want to attend a dirt bike school to really get some great I’m person lessons
I’m new to dirt biking. I’ve been practicing in our pastures, but the other day took it out to a popular wooded area with trails. I was disappointed to see so much sugar sand so new to riding. I’ll stick to my pastures for now while I become a more confident rider. These tips are very useful! Love your videos!
2nd day of riding a dirt bike and a newbie to manual transmission, sand has become my arch nemesis ( i crashed in sand) lol this video has helped me to understand how to properly ride in sand, now time for a rematch💪
Thanks for the tips Tyler, I’m doing my first race this weekend in TORCS at OTT ranch and it’s a lot of sand. One good thing about sand is it doesn’t hurt as much if you do go down! 🤣🤣
No you will no matter what, but thats part of riding. If you dont make msitakes your not learning, analyze those mistakes and correct them. This will give you confidence and sense of intelligence as well. Good luck
Thanks for making this video @The Mx Factory ! I'm a newbie MX rider based in Qatar. As you can imagine, there's a LOT of sand here been a desert country and all !!
@@moekeee gas altijd erop houden, ookal is het 1mm maakt niet uit altijd je gas erop houden want dan blijft je wiel draaien en rij je veel vloeiender👍🏼
I just rode thru Bull Gap and the Ann Arbor Trail head-I’m 51 and never been on a dirt bike! The sad is a struggle for me- crashed 4 times- got back on and kept trying!! I usually ride a quad- and thought a few weeks ago why not try a dirt bike! So I got a little 125- I love it!
Question about tire setup: When an outdoor track is sandy AND has hardpack, it it best to put a soft/sand tire on the front and leave the more intermediate wheel on the back? (I'm running Kenda Millvilles and there are some sandier tracks in my future and I am wondering about putting a Washugal tire on the front.) The tread is the biggest difference I see and I am wondering if I put a tire made for sandier/softer conditions if that will help my riding. (And yes, I am aware that riding more will help my riding, but I will take any help I can get.)
Almost every other video ive seen about dirtbike riding has been like “wait theres form for that? Oh wait that serves that purpose? Wym people are doing that wrong?” Finally, riding in sand. That being uniquely difficult actually makes sense for someone that is currently shopping for their first bike😂
If u ride sand constantly, then you should get some softer tires, but if you only ride it once or twice, there's no point in spending so much money on em, just my opinion.
Mike Jeskin in real loose sand if you use the front brakes you’re front wheel will wash out from underneath you ! When you ride sand you don’t want to put your weight in front! Keep the front light because of that baking with the front won’t offer good results (dune riders remove there front brake because they are useless)
I throttle pinned and clutch when I'm lining something up huge but normally back off ever so slightly and shift up with no clutch, I clutch down tho. Not sure if thats right or wrong just what I do
Get a 2 stroke. 4 strokes have too much weight on the front tire and that’s what causes the front end to knife in corners. 2 strokes stay on top of the sand where 4 strokes sink down into it a lot more.
BlaZteR 6 you need to let the bike do its thing so loosely (unless there’s a jump ahead) in the sand you must let go the bike won’t do as you ask completely and you have to be ok with that get in that mind set
Im so sad now because we don't have a lot of money now and i really wanna dirt bike it would be very helpful if one of u guys can hellp me out here i would really love that love all of u guys
That last "incorrect" ride was hilarious to watch. I wouldn't be upset if you made a whole video on how to goon.

@@smooth_speed13 good plan! =D
Did you feel the want to lean off your dirtbike as well? It felt really weird to me to sit opposite off the corner and foot out for a long time.
Perfect - got a sand track 30 minutes away - time to try!!
i got one 1 min away and i don’t have a bike

Im also a newbie. Ive gone on 3 or 4 rides. These videos are a gold mine.
I live in Michigan and grew up riding sand. Agreed with everything he said. Nice video!

Speed really is your friend when it comes to sand. I agree with the last tip especially.
Very good video!! Thanks for these tips! Greetings from Italy!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your videos,very interesting and useful for us!👍
Was looking forward to this 1. 👍
Thanks for THIS topic. I'm new to dirt etc... and sand is obviously my biggest "challenge".
Thanks for watching!
Just don’t be a control freak lol
Im gonna buy a pitbike this friday, your videos really help me preparing so i dont eat the dirt on my first ride XD
Awesome!

@@eric6rock thanks mate
A really popular track here in St. Louis called Ride Organic is super sandy. Great to see this video before I take on the sand monster!
nice!

Thank you!
Love your videos !! Learned a lot👍🏼
Gotta love the Netherlands
Zoveel zandcirtuits hier he. Ik en een vriend beginnen net met crossen op de baan maar wij komen niet vooruit🤣 heb je nog wat tips?
@@moekeee gas altijd erop houden, ookal is het 1mm maakt niet uit altijd je gas erop houden want dan blijft je wiel draaien en rij je veel vloeiender👍🏼
Here in FL so everything is loose sand, number 5 is tough for me which leads to extreme arm pump.
The first race of my season is going to be in deep sand. I raced there in November (second ever race) and struggled with it. Thanks for the tips.
Good luck!
Awesome explanation ! 👍
I just finished 6 hours in 8” deep sand. I’m 53 & I didn’t know if I was gonna make it out alive. 1993 KDX200 St. Helens Michigan.

This is what I needed, thanks!
Have to watch this after getting destroyed in the sand last weekend!!
I live about 20 minutes away from Southwick Mx 338 love sand
One of my favorite nationals to race back in the day.
Your a awesome rider
Thank you!

HonRon211 DUNLOP GEOMAX MX11 100/90-19 is for sand riding
thanks
I am surrounded by sugar sand, here in the panhandle. Constantly dropping My KLX 250S. Riding like l am 16 at now 54 training for the TAT
#84 having the fastest sand rider in the world for teaching can't be wrong!
1:08 came across your video while I was at the dunes and saw my video
It helped!!!
I'm literally going to a sand track called Elizabeth City Motocross Club so this is going to be fun to use to help me
Awesome !!
Riding in sand is the art of controlled chaos 🤟🏼
That what I am learning

Yeet I was 2nd great video
Thank you !
Question on shock compression clicker setting, compared to hard pack. Do I turn my clickers in or out?
You should make a video on how to go over water puddles
Regarding bike setup, how much use are sand tires for normal not-pro-at-all riders?
If u ride sand constantly, then you should get some softer tires, but if you only ride it once or twice, there's no point in spending so much money on em, just my opinion.
Again ya'll great tip. Now just sponsor Me to come to Texas!
Mannn That WE is so sweet!!! CRF!!
When are you coming to South Africa
Do you make a videos for Motard ?
Got my first race in the sand in April
Wow nice
I wanna come but it very expensive love the vids tho i learned so much
Should I buy a 250 2stroke or a 450 going buy one tomo I’m still debating
i do only sand riding you forgot to metion little to no front brake usage and less standing up you want a lower centre of gravity
Why do you say little to no front brake use? I use it all the time, sometimes even more than the rear brake.
Mike Jeskin in real loose sand if you use the front brakes you’re front wheel will wash out from underneath you ! When you ride sand you don’t want to put your weight in front! Keep the front light because of that baking with the front won’t offer good results (dune riders remove there front brake because they are useless)

How do you slow the rebound down. Is that + or - ?
If only I saw this last week when I went to a sand track for the first time
Just lean back and hold'er wide!
So true
Make one for mud!!!
Coming really soon!
Herlings!!!
Thanks for this vid 3 mouths ago I diped to hard in a rlly tight corner and broke my rists
Hi when shifting a bike do I let off the gas or just pull the clutch in and shift holding the throttle pinned?
I throttle pinned and clutch when I'm lining something up huge but normally back off ever so slightly and shift up with no clutch, I clutch down tho. Not sure if thats right or wrong just what I do
Yeet
What is yeet?
@@TheMxFactory if Ali a did a fat dab
Get a 2 stroke. 4 strokes have too much weight on the front tire and that’s what causes the front end to knife in corners. 2 strokes stay on top of the sand where 4 strokes sink down into it a lot more.
What I hear is: on loam you steer with the front; on sand you steer with the rear. Earnhardt vs Kinser
Now you till me know wonder my front end would wash out lol
Why do you still stick your leg out for the corner if you want less weight on the front tire?
Blow the berm at the end 🤣
Pressing the bike with the legs or lose?
BlaZteR 6 you need to let the bike do its thing so loosely (unless there’s a jump ahead) in the sand you must let go the bike won’t do as you ask completely and you have to be ok with that get in that mind set

Money!!
🤘🏼
I went to my first sand track, immeditaly pushed my front wheel and dropped my bike pulling onto the track during C Class practice. I was confused
Good video but if you want to ride sand Watch Jeffery Herlings has several utube practice ones to watch,
Torcs races spokes
Whoa
Wanna ride some hard sand? Go to Mozambique
Best sand dunes ever
How about standing more in sand and no dabbing ?
Im so sad now because we don't have a lot of money now and i really wanna dirt bike it would be very helpful if one of u guys can hellp me out here i would really love that love all of u guys
you should ride a 2 stroke
all the sx guys on tuesday need some lessons😆
would like your videos to be longer with more info and instruction instead of compressed into 5 tips
We will roll out full courses by early summer with very in-depth detailed information.
@@TheMxFactory that sounds awesome
Go to Mars in Edinburgh for a training camp
Everything is 3 gears higher
Oh ya. I biffed it at least 6 times.
Sand is the easiest for me...
