Nice collaboration with F9! I always have a smile on my face through sand until I have sand in my teeth.

Brian Wagnon ditto on that. Noob here. 100 miles on my new TW 200. I love Ryan and Fort Nine and getting to really appreciate Brent and MotoTrek. Dan, Dan the fireman is helping too. All great teachers to learn from mentally before I ride and when I ride and reenforce.
HOLY SHIT IT'S F9
Was barreling down a dirt road the other day and came up on 8"+ deep loose sand heavy rutted by heavy equipment doing 50++kmph. Sure glad I had watched this video a few times, and even happier I remembered everything you said. The road was like this for over 2km so I ran it out. I must admit I was very proud of myself and thankful for the channel.

Did you maintain 50 kph throughout? Did the front end squirm a lot at that speed?
What I learned from this video: Hold on loosely, don't let go. If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control. That kind of sounds like a song....eh, nevermind, it won't sell.

Sand on my GSA is admittedly my weak link and your so right about going out and finding sand to practice in. The problem is in the Midwest there just ain’t much of it. Great advice, though, thanks 🙏
Cool to see this explained what I learned through trial and error in Mongolia. One can only wipe out so many times before going "screw it I'm hitting it fast on the next patch". Did it on the next section of super soft, 95kmh or so, held my breath, flew through it. Life was never the same after that, what a rush. Having that "fuck it" moment helps a lot I reckon to put aside that fear you mentioned.

...did you use the rear brake like Brett suggested would raise the front wheel...or did you just use lots of throttle?

Hey Pedro, one thing to remember is that Brett and Ryan ride BMW's........you got to ask yourself,"but can they do it on an overloaded Transalp????"😀😀😀😀😀😀..........gotta love the fact that 3 (Brett, Ryan AND Pedro) of the best youtubers feature here.....awesome vid!
The two best motorcycling guys on the internet. I think I had a bikegasm...great tips debunking the bullshit out there. An excellent technical description of why the bike self corrects. Thankyou!
Great to see Brett and Ryan collaborating on this one. Nice juxtaposition of presentation styles.

It was a cool video then he kicked it over to Ryan. I'm like "ok, time to click that thumbs up don't even care what Ryan says!
Cheers to the 2 best dudes on motorcycles!
What a surprise! The two greatests moto-story-tecnique-tellers together! Great video! As always.
I've been racing MX and off-road for over 40 years and decided I needed a 500LB 1290? It's definitely a new ball game with this beast, especially in tight single track and deep sand. Practice is my friend. These videos are great.
There you go my Favourites in one video Daaaaaam, Way to go and as Bret says always look ahead not down, Also Tim that was a fab execution cheers guys keep rocking
Very informative and comforting. I loved seeing Ryan.
Fortnine & Mototrek together.... awesome guys....keep the collaboration going👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I love it! my 2 favorite you tubers on another great production. Brett-Ryan you dudes are studs
Awesome video! Thanks for creating it! 👏👏👏👏
just watched this div over again and got amazed second time:) great job!
W0w, nice tutorial! Best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. Now I want to find some sand!
Bret and Ryan are on track to take over the motorcycle internetz! awesome!
Really nice class. Good to see Ryan in the video! Keep the channel going! You're doing an excellent work! Kudos from Rio!
Great video Bret. Excellent explanation of the basic sand riding techniques.
Awesome to see Ryan on here, great team you two would make. Thanks
good tips. i'd also like to add more sag to the rear shock if its an adjustable unit. decrease air pressure a bit too. Also, the BMW GS is a bad example for Ryans explanation, which btw, is absolutely spot on. The question to ask is, Why has BMW dumped his telelever for the HP2. My answer for is that the front wheel kinematics was "refusing bumps" for the telelever setup. Technicians will agree that a wheel is refusing bumps when the tire patch is accelerating on bumps, but on the contrary with a telescopic fork, the wheel has to decelerate on bumps and therefore is swallowings bumps. This is why Moto-cross bikes have got less vertical fork tubes. BMW's approach with the GS was: "With touring bikes, it's not so bad : just shaking your forearms a bit when accelerating on a bumpy road" .. this is why the HP2 does not have a telelever, nor did any of thier works bikes.
Awesome content, the conveyance of the technical explanation of rake and its effects in the sand was very well done! Learned something today!
Great info as always, love the moto wisdom gained in experience Great combo with Ryan F9, keep it up All in all, your videos and knowledge are the best in training new and old adventure riders.
Great video, thanks to you both!!
Maybe the best motorcycle instructional video ever. Really great job guys! Thanks!
Ryan AND Brett. Now that's an adroit combination. More please.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I always enjoy your attitude but facing your challenges on the trail
That was a good lesson and the first alternative I have seen to opening the taps.. Thank you
Great information. I’ve been told over and over again. Gas it hold on. Not anymore. Good job and thanks to the both of you. KLR Jim
Thanks, Bret and Tim. Nice video for newbie dirt riders like me. Trail braking for nose-up-sand-riding was a new concept for me for sure.
I am an riding veteran of 30+ years, but an absolute novice in adventure riding. You make it look sooo easy, but I love the videos and am trying to learn. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the info. Something this old guy will have to go out and get used to. Thanks also to Ryan for the input. I learned something today, again!
This video is one of the best for me ! Great job !
My favorite skills guy and my favorite review guy in the same video! Thanks!
I have doing much of these things instinctively but it was great to hear these things being pointed out. Very useful
Great subject. Fantastic footage. Fun collaboration. Well done and thank you.
Amazing video and a great surprise! Thanks, guys!
Your videos are the Most helpful I‘ve found here so far. 🏍💚👍
Yes! Awesome collaboration!
Mototrek and Fortnine are my favourite channels. Great guys and great techniques!
My two favorite motorcycle channels on KZread joining forces? And on a particularly interesting topic I needed help with? This deserves a comment. Here, thank you guys!!
Great information, I am always learning on this channel. Love that you had Ryan on. You two are my favourite KZread creators by far.
Seems like i am not the only one here loving these two guys on the Tube. Natural match! Please do some more stuff together: You’re like a motorcyling encyclopedia 🤓
Awesome stuff, just getting into dirty stuff myself, learning heaps! Thanks 😀👍
Thanks alot for ths tips I yesterday went on a small trip to a very tough terrain. And I did all those things which I was not supposed to do. I will write a memo of the pointers and will keep on practicing untill i get the smile.
Thanks for this great sharing of knowledge Brett and RFN! Really appreciate the work y'all do.

I have to say: yours are among the best instruction videos on the internet. Not flashy, detailed and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This was my first time seeing the channel. Excellent production quality and I learned a thing or two as well. Subscribed.
Good explanation guys. Just learned these things after my latest motocamping trip with a lot of sandy dirt road. Gained a lot of experience from that trip. Good vid.
Love to see the collab with Ryan! More please.
Getting an ADV soon and just learning about this channel. I really love the advice, and seeing Ryan here is just the cherry on top :) Big smile on my face.
Amazing as usual. Thank you
Great to see a collaboration for the betterment of motorcycle rider knowledge and skill. Bravo
great video , useful . great collaboration and love those slow mo shoots . GREETINGS FORM SANDY FLORIDA
I went offroad for the first time today on a 99 Honda Varadero XL1000V. I had watched a good number of your vids before today and they really helped me keep the big old bus upright. Its a totally different set of skills from road, so thank you for the informative videos, they made my trip with friends enjoyable rather than disastrous. Many thanks from Australia
Trés Bien! Merci!
I love the fact that I always come back to your videos to get a refresh lesson, as we forget the basics and keep doing the same mistakes when we ride. Also very happy you and Ryan teamed up on this video, you both are my favorite motorcycle KZread Channels that I always look forward to watching and learning.

your lessons keep getting better and more fun. great fortnine guest spot, my other fav channel for adv. now go wheelie in tim horton!
I've had so many different kinds of advice over the years, and I had developed a fear. What you said about having the right attitude, and letting the bike go where it wants... I had a *lot* of fun in the sand and I never thought that was possible. Thank you for that.
Simply great content all over the place!
Very useful info. Thanks for sharing.
fortNine for the win
Great to see you and Ryan creating content together! Keep up the great work!
Truly the most wondedfull knowledge on riding motorcycles. What I learned is to take it easy and the bike will be in yiur control. You get tense, the bike will feel it and fight you back.
Best explanation of how to ride on sand I've seen so far - Thank you!
Excellent breakdown. Will save this and share with my buddies
Awesome vid to wake up to.. Thanks B&R!
Two of my favorite motorcycle youtubers in one video... Shweet! Nice video!
two of the best, Mototrek and FortNine, thanks for teaming up.
Great advice.

Great teacher thank you guys!
Thumbs up for your videos, Big smile from the Netherlands.
The most important thing about sand is learning to read it; then you shift your weight and get ready to flow with the bike. I ride in sand basically constantly here in East Texas. Learn to read when a rut or groove is going to push your front is number one. Second is putting your weight back (almost over you passenger seat; yes, WAY back) in straight lines/gently curves and moving very far forward in corners/berms (think motocross cornering).

I hate sand too. I'm in NM and have learned to expect sand where arroyos cross the road, with sand washing down onto the road. Sometimes big long sections. I'll cross 2 or 3 of them and come upon a big ugly one, and then it's like, screw it, the last thing I want to do is to turn around and have to go back through them all! My last batch was eroded tuff near Cuba, NM - essentially volcanic ash. It was like baby powder. My foot just vanished into it when I walked out to see how deep it was. Oh yeah, and it totally dried my chain out after about 100 yards of it.
Mototrek and FortNine, my two favorite moto channels combined! Great work gents!! Yeah, I be scared of sand. This helps, but I will be seeking direct pro instruction soon, and practicing.
Great video,,,so right, practice in the sand.. practice practice.. thanks.
Another awesome video!
Great stuff. Thanks
Love seeing our Spokane, Washington ORV park put to the test! A great place to practice just about every type of terrain...sand included!
Looks like I'm off to the desert to practice until I'm smiling then ;-) Great advice - thank you. I'll be watching this again and looking to try out your tips.
Big thumbs up for the Ryan cameo
During the snow experienced taxi drivers I remembered had been keeping constant acceleration it is not fast but steady power to the engine. It seems the same on loose sand constant power of engine is the key word! This is tough one could by experiencing could learn constant power!!!
Awesome to see both of you on the same video. I’m consistently alternating your videos!
Really cool to see you guys hook up. Met Ryan a few times in Montreal. Real stand up guy and fun to ride with.
Nice job, Brett! Very helpful.
I couldn't have said it better myself! Great Video dude!
Amazing!
Thank you so much for the education
Great video - two of my favorite motobike video guys working together! I am the guy who tenses up under extreme butt clench as soon as I see sand...need to find a spot and practice everything stated here in this video!
