Full throttle in sand and hang on. You might find a steering damper helps. You can change ruts by bouncing your weight onto the bike and sort of hop out. It takes practice and commitment. That works in hard uk ruts. Of course you need to be standing up for all scenarios.

Thanks, I found it tough taking corners and crossing ruts when forced to go slow. I understand to keep the front light as much as possible but would love to just feel better about taking on rutted corners in that super soft stuff. I've had lots of advice now from various sources so best to get back out there and keep practicing!
