Hey guys,
I went riding at bulcher yesterday, and have some questions about the sand and such. Everyone was passing me, while I was having trouble keeping my balance, and when I tryed to plane up on to of the sand, then I felt unstable. I'm afraid if I turn it too sharp in the sand, i'm going to lose it. You know the place down by the river? I decided to just let it loose and go. I didn't fall, but my rear fishtaled, and I got that kinda queasy feeling a couple of times, like when you feel like your gonna Panic. Thats the best way I can describe it. My bike just goes all over the place. Anyway, will I eventually get used to flying through the sand, or am I just not aggresive enough? Is there something i'm missing? I just keep hitting those ATV ruts, and the front tire wants to follow them which makes it hard to keep my balance.
Thanks!
James
BTW, you know that sign that warns you about quick sand? well, I certainly found it. It took an ATV to pull me out, and I almost couldn't get my feet out. Be carefull! I know y'all probably already knew that, just thought I'd let ya know.
