PLANING: You using the analogy, PLANING, triggered an "Ah, HA" moment in me (from sailing ... where there are light-weight 'planing' boats ... which are FAST). I, too, have watched a LOT of RUclips videos on the subject, including from some top instructors (in their minds, anyway) ... and yours is the best, most succinctly useful explanation/guidance I've seen !!! Thinking about it also suggested to me why instructors and others can ride sand on those heavy-weight touring/Adventure bikes, running on semi-street tires. I suspect that the wide-spaced knobby (and paddle) tires help mostly in GETTING STARTED (in deep sand) from a stop; once moving, speed seems to make up for lack of wide-spaced knobs ??? THANKS - for the truly Great explanation and most useful minimum speed guidance.
@discoveror9576 in my experience, getting the bike going in sand is hard on any tire. But I believe you're right, if you're already "on plane" any tire would ride through it.
@@TyHuffADV Though the bike and tire industries would love us to buy a different bike and tire for each surface, speed, obstacle (and situation), in reality we often/usually have to use/ride a less than optimal tool, especially for temporary situations. The notion of PLANING OVER, rather than plowing THROUGH, sand makes intuitive sense to me ... and explains (to me) why 'momentum' is invariably associated with sand riding. From now on, when I hear the term 'momentum', my mind will translate 'momentum' to PLANING OVER ... When sailing planing boats, we spoke of having enough wind for 'planing speed', where the boats literally can climb OUT of the water to skim/plane OVER the water. GREAT FUN, btw. MANY thanks for the required speed and planing insights ... SO valuable.
Great video. I feel like sand is 90% mental. But even knowing that sometimes it will still get in my head! You're right about riding the big bikes in the Sam. Too many tight turns to always keep your speed up, and a lot of the deepest sand is right in the turns! But it's still a blast. Keep it up, you make cool videos.
So I’m in Florida area, seems like similar conditions sand wise and on a Tuareg (so basically a Tenere) My fear is the front end tucking and throwing me over the handlebars at 40mph hence why I slow down a bit to 20/25.. this is all in my head?
@@rapha2667 that's definitely all in your head. If you keep constant throttle and some weight over the rear, you'll be much safer at 40mph than you will be at 20mph.

Great vid! Informative! Keep it up 👍🏼

@discoveror9576 thanks for the great comment, I'm glad someone found this helpful

Thanks for doing the video! Next video is going over logs and what not to do!lmao
Idk if I'm at the level of a log hopping tutorial lol. I get lucky with every one I hop over.
You need to try a sand section on the 500.
@@Kalani_938 i don't want to fall in love with the 500 and end up buying one
@@TyHuffADV you can never have too many loves 😂
can you do a video of Raleigh 250cc or warrior haujin 20cc
@egidiusrono8597 i would definitely do a video on one, if someone provided the bike for me lol.

I hate sand! 😂😂😂
Do not run Shinko big blocks in sand.
Right now I'm running an Anakee wild rear tire and a Dsport front. I'll go to a Dsport rear when I wear this tire out.
