First Time in the Sand Dunes!

Показать описание

It felt like I was on another planet.

I've seen countless clips of people sending themselves in the sand dunes over the years, but I never thought I'd have the chance to actually ride them in person. @tomparsons930 convinced me to make the drive to St. Anthony, Idaho for some dirt bike action on some of the best dunes in the world.

Just like Caineville, there was a pretty steep learning curve. All the locals told me to take it slow, and it's a good thing I did. Everything here is completely different from the tracks / man-made jumps I've ridden before.

For those who never rode on the dunes or on sand, it’s almost like riding on water on a skidoo (or a boat) while it’s bogging out when you give it gas.
When you start to move & try to turn, your bike will still go straight. And because you’re so used to leaning while turning on your bike, you’ll struggle trying to keep it up, but end up falling on your side like Jay did.
It’s a huge learning curve from riding on a paved road vs riding on the dunes like Jay have said.
You just have to train your mind that your front wheel is like a rudder on a boat & speed & gassing it is your friend when turning.
It was fun when i rode on the sand at glamis for the first time in the early 2000’s. I didn’t fly like Jay did, but the struggles trying not to fall was very taxing.

Great stuff Jay! Perhaps Moto is your calling. Continue what you’re doing & you’ll be doing the contest with Tom in the X Games.

Don't you dare mess up your uploading schedule, I've already included it in my Sunday routine. Just kidding, thanks for the amazing content over the years!

I know the struggle, Jay. Dunes are hard. You did fine, especially your first time out.

Crazy how much steeper that entry into the jump looked from the other perspective! Looked like so much fun though, i'd love to get a lil dirt bike one day

In the world of MX, It's a marathon which means self preservation is key. Live to ride another day my dude. Solid content, it looked like you were riding in sand dune heaven with those clouds and beautiful skyline.

What a pleasure to watch you ride in the sand dunes Jay, Now I know what to do the next time I'm in Idaho.

Ahh it looks so fun, sadly we dont have such dunes from where I come from. All we have is sand roads in woods and some old sand quarry

I'm bringing my RMZ450 to St. Anthony for the first time in a couple weeks! Can't wait to fall over and stall constantly haha.

Literally went to Glamis for the first time. Thank goodness I’m not the only one who thinks dunes are hard. Extremely fun can’t wait to go back.

Bro those jumps are insane. Ole zuki sounds strong too

You shoulda gone up to Pismo on your Cali trip. Only a couple hours North from your Thousand Oaks stop. Beach, dunes, sand truly miss living in California.

I feel like that’s where we get in trouble - More experienced riders telling you to give it more. Just do you and enjoy mannn

I got the same bike and was at silver lake sand dunes in Michigan back in june. Sand dunes are challenging for sure. The turning while giving it more gas was the hardest part 😂 also sand is more abrasive on the sprocket and chain wears on the bike faster.
