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  |

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

It's not the fall that hurts, it's when you hit the ground.

the above opinion is simply that of an average middle aged hick with one too many brain injuries... or, don't take it too serious.
