Course Information


The Country Trax Sand Riding Course is designed for riders who want to develop confidence and control when tackling deep, loose, and shifting terrain. Sand is one of the most challenging surfaces for off-road riders, requiring a specific approach to body position, throttle control, and momentum. This course helps riders overcome the fear and frustration often associated with sand, replacing it with skill, flow, and technique.


What You’ll Learn

The course covers the core principles of sand riding, including:

  • Body positioning for weight distribution and bike control
  • Throttle and clutch technique for maintaining momentum
  • Riding posture for front wheel stability
  • Steering with the pegs and handling instability
  • Acceleration and braking in low-traction environments
  • Recovery techniques when you get stuck or lose balance

All drills and exercises are designed to build confidence progressively, with real-time coaching and feedback.


Course Format

Training includes both technical drills in soft sand and practical outrides through deep, natural sand tracks. Riders will have the opportunity to apply techniques in varied conditions with guidance from experienced instructors. The pace is supportive but challenging, aimed at pushing your limits without overwhelming you.


Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for:

  • Riders who struggle with sand or avoid it altogether
  • Intermediate to advanced riders preparing for desert or beach terrain
  • Those planning overland or rally-style adventures in sandy regions


What You’ll Gain

By the end of the course, you’ll:

  • Ride more confidently through deep sand
  • Understand how to maintain balance and momentum
  • Improve reaction and recovery techniques in low-traction situations
  • Be mentally and physically prepared for sandy expeditions


Learn to Love the Soft Stuff

Riding sand isn’t about brute strength—it’s about finesse. This course gives you the tools to ride smoother, safer, and with far more confidence when the trail turns to powder.
