[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 940373, member: 13519"] Man...I have been the guy ripping the throttle in that video and coasting through. I have also been the guy duck-walking my bike throught the sand, pissed off because I wussed out. And...I have dropped dirt bikes in stuff like more often than any other terrain. I think dirt bike riding is very counter-intuitive. Your mind knows you need to pin the throttle and lean back in order to ride through and make life easy, but your body wants to slow down so that when you eat shit it doesn't hurt so much. Either way, it's a learning experience and you'll learn a lot. Just remember to stand and learn to let the front float a little. If you noticed in that video, the guys sitting down had the hardest time. You'll also notice that the guys that dropped their bikes did zero damage to them. Which is always good. [/QUOTE]
