I can't watch it on my phone. I suspect that it'll be pretty entertaining once I can get home and see it.

Reminds me of everytime I try to ride in sand.

I just cant. Period.

One of my buddies invited me to ride on some of the trails in Northern Michigan.

After about 2 hours of picking myself up and straightening the bars. I said to hell with it, and drank beer the rest of the day.

The next week I was so sore....

I love riding up in Michigan. The sand is tricky. Once you get the hang of it, it is a hell of a good time.

I haven't ridden in sand in a long time, but I never remember going through anything that soft that would eat my front wheel that fast.  I think I'll stick to forestry roads  Bigsmile

A ski on the front (or an ejector seat) would've helped a few of these riders.   Smile
