Alot of these are just exhaustion. Dune riding looks fun.

Yeah, I thought a post was in order. It has been quiet since we sunk into our deep freeze. Skiing and hiking is ok in the winter but I want to ride. Baja one of these years..

Thanks for the video!!! Some good crashes in there!!!! The bikes look like they have a common problem when it comes to the sand andfighting the laws of gravity. Man.... I'm sure some of the riders had that split second of "I can save it" feeling as they hung on for dear life!!Guess there isn't much of an option when you have to pack so much fuel and need a bike that is okay for everything. It is a challenge on a goodmotocross bike....got to keep the front up and power down at all times or you'll wear out your helmet face planting.:bliss::dr:

I moved my bike around the garage, didn't seem to help. I did find the new crashbar that I need to put on before next year though.
