HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN YOUR BIKE STUCK IN QUICKSAND?

: i did today it sucked, found this great big huge track...it has these cool big *** pits about 10' deeP and 5' wide, big hills, flat feilds and an old asphalt road you can get really high speed on...

anyway its about 4 square miles of riding land, all free, and out of all this land theres this little rut about 5' X 5' and in the middle theres this little 3' X 2' patch of quicksand about 1 1/2 foot deep...hmm, how nice...my own little patch of quicksand perfectly sized for my back tire..IT SUCKED @$$!!! 2 HOURS SPENT STUFFING ALL KINDA THINGS UNDER MY TIRE TRING TO GET TRACTION, THEN I FINALLY GET HELP...I WAS STUCK SO DAMN DEEP IN THE STUFF THAT A YAMAHA BANSHEE COULDENT PULL ME OUT BELIEVE OR NOT AND IT TOOK A BANSHEE, HONDA CR 500, AND ANOTHER MAN TO GET ME OUT!!!

overall this track is a DIRTBIKERS PARADISE, but please take it from me, IF YOU EVER GET STUCK IN QUICKSAND, TRY FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO GET OUT, IF THAT DONT WORK STOP!!! YOU WILL JUST DIG YOURSELF DEEPER!!!

ok thats enough outta me...

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Haha yeah I have gotten stuck in quicksand before. Muenster has some places where the sand is real deep. I just get off my bike and pick it completly up and move it.

I have been stuck in the quicksand in Muenster too but you aint gonna pick up the bike when it sinks! We fought to get my bike out and the best way to do this is to sacrifice your rear fender by picking up the front end and essentially looping it over backwards. Don't try rocking it side to side because you will break your wheel hubs and sink even deeper.

Never try to ride accross a dried up lake bed, or at least a reserviour that was drained. It may look dry but it sure isnt in the middle! On a bike you sink right away, on a quad if you go fast enough you can skim it. We had to leave a bike in the mud overnight because there was so much mud on it that it could stand straight up by itself. The next day we went and chipped all the dry mud off of it and it took 3 people pushing about 2 hrs to get it out of the dried up lake. Oh yea, watch out for the dark patches!
