i have trouble turning in the sand, can anyone give me some pointers?

Large wide arc's. No sudden front end movements or the end result is face in the sand. Weight back on the seat helps also.

Steer with the rear. Keep the front light.

Point the bike in the direction you want it to go and hope it agrees.

Make wide sweaping turns and stay on the gas all the way through! It sometimes helps to pick a line if theres already ruts, lean the bike slightly and just pin it!

Trac straps.... I was hessitant to try them out at 69 dollars.. but I am glad I did, helps a ton in turns, and whoops. Speed is your friend in the sand, with that being said, too much speed is your enemy. Its all about getting out there and practicing and feeling out your bike to a point of knowing your bike very well. But whats already been said is very true.
Heres a link to trac straps, I bought mine at DuneFest so I got a deal..

There fairly easy to put on and super easy to take off.

MotoSicko had it dead on. I noticed your location, so i'm assuming your riding Glamis. Here's the trick. Sit far back (it will feel weird at first), sit on your seat towards the outside of the bike. As soon as your position is set, roll into the throttle(you will have to give more in sand), and just PLANT YOUR EYES where you want to go, and hammer it!!!!

I have been riding Glamis for ever, and thats something my Dad taught me young, and it worked!

here where i live there is only sand it sucks as i spent my youth on dirt but in saying that i am now a sand expert so come in hard almost to fast sitting up almost on the tank on approach as you get to the corner tip it in and roll on the gas allowing your self to move back on the seat at the same time but not to far back as you exit the corner your rear wheel will hook up and you don't want to be to far back when this happens this tec is for sand tracks not sand hills or desert in that case keep the front light and take a wide arc while keeping the gas coming on. single track sand riding is not easy and falling of will happen i find if you go at it half hearted thats when you have trouble so keep it pinned
