And here are some sandboarding tips:

Raymond’s Top Sandboarding tips

1. Keep your knees bent at all times

2. Your weight must be in the middle of the board, if you put too much weight on your front foot, you’ll wipe out

3. Don’t be afraid of speed. In sandboarding its important to keep you speed up or you will lose balance and hit the deck before you know it

4. Loose the fear. Unlike hard snow or ice, sand is gentle to land on, so don’t be afraid of falling over

5. Don’t carve as much as snowboarding as it will slow you down too much. If you do need to change direction or slow down slightly, opt for sharp slalom style carving over large and slow carving

AMA motocross 2009

Motocross Sports, now in charge of the AMA Toyota MX Championship presented by FMF Racing.
Today announced AMA motocross 2009 U.S. championship racing schedule.

The  championship schedule will run through all the summer, culminating with the Steel City National events near Pittsburgh on September 5, as part of the Labor Day holiday.

There are a lot of changes this year. One of them is the move to Saturday afternoon races. After introducing the format this past summer at the Thunder Valley and Steel City events, the overwhelmingly positive response prompted Motocross Sports to make the changes in the schedule to Saturday events. The race schedule will change to one-day competitions. 4 weekends of rest are also built into the schedule in order to give riders and teams the opportunity to maximize their performance. Also, in order to help offset travel expenses, MotoX Sports has reorganised the events for a more interesting and efficient travel schedule.
